To get a list of all birthdays from your Datebook database, use icons or text strings and the filter functions.
Add the same icon to all your birthday reminders, e.g. the "birthday cake" which is included in the distribution. Go to the List View and tap on the "Opt." button. Tick the "Icon:" checkbox and select the "birthday cake" icon. Tap OK.
Alternatively, scan for a specific text string which you include in all your birthday reminders. My reminders are all marked with the birthday cake and are of the form "name, Birthday, date of birth", e.g. "Stephan Engelke, Birthday, 28.09.1972". To filter by text, go to the List View and tap on the "Opt." button. Tick the "Find:" checkbox and enter "birthday". Tap OK.
If you want to keep this list handy and don't want to run through the selection process every time, use a saved view (see DatebkSixManualPage:61 or DatebkFiveManualPage:53 or DatebkFourManualPage:46 for details).
