It is supposed that AVI´s backdrops shows all your bdays and anniversaries
which it finds in your names cards, if it is set to a number > 0 in the look
ahead days field. If you enter 0 than ABD will NOT show any bdays/anniv. I
just tried it, nice programming, Avi, et. al. !
Duplicate entries in dates might be caused by different dates applications
and especially if you use programs, written in different languages or mix
the program langauge with any other lang. NOS, as I do. Examples are
TimeTrax vs. Dates (or Termine at the german NOS). All of them produce new
entries with different preceedings at the bdays. E.g. TimeTrax German
produces Geb.: Marco and Dates on the US NOS: Bday: Marco. This gives two
entries. Thus I never let dates applications enter bdays into the actual
Dates soup. I use solely Avi´s BD and erased all bday entries from Dates,
which removes all the redundant info too.
