Published 12/23 courtesy of Bamboo Solutions CommunityHow it Works
The latest offering from Bamboo Labs, our incubator for new products and technology, Bamboo Happy Birthday Reminder Web Part reads user profile information such as email address, name, and birthday from SharePoint's Active Directory. When you access a page containing this Web Part, a list of animated images is displayed for the user(s) whose birthday falls in the specified range (displayed by day or week, as configured).
