Multiple birthdays in addressbook

I started to use Dates to Ical from John Maisey (http://www.nhoj.co.uk/datestoical) to create multiple birthdays and anniversaries from the addressbook into iCal. Can someone however tell me how to distinguish the various dates, i.e. I have a contract John, Mary and Peter O'Neill with two birthdays. I cannot distinguish now whose birthday is which.

Any ideas?

Hi,


If you want all these dates to be on the same card do the following.


In Address Book add an anniversary for each date to the card and change the title from 'Anniversary' to the person's first name. In Dates to iCal go to the 'titles' tab and change the format of the titles in the anniversary section to include the 'type' token, then quit Dates to iCal. This will show the first name in the events in iCal.


Best wishes


John M
