My last day in Tectura

Hi All,

Today is my last day in Tectura.

In my leisure time very often I remember the wonderful moments we had when we started our career in Ax with Euroinfo Systems (this company is acquired by Tectura). Euroinfo Systems changed my professional life. I am really thankful to Euroinfo/Tectura.

In this company I got the opportunity to work with the best, most talented and professional group of people.

I've enjoyed having exposure to so many different points/technologies/products.

Always in challenging time I got great help/cooperation.

The below image shows the fellow of our Ax group. This photo was taken on 28^th July, 2005 during our initial Ax career. It recalls our wonderful old memories.

To show upcoming birthday in Sharepoint

I was looking for a facility to display upcoming birthdays in MOSS 2007 but there is no availability of such webpart.It can be done by customizing in MOSS 2007 or a webpart can be developed. I was looking for a shortcut way to fulfill my requirement. Finally I got a webpart from http://www.sharepointology.com/.


This webpart has been developed to display upcoming birthdays where name of user and date of birth to be displayed. Yes, there is a provision to set the number of days as a range for upcoming day(s). For example, if you want to display the name of user(s) whose date of birth is coming within next 3 days.


Additionally the user name is having a link to its profile.
Actually date value is coming from user’s profile and name is coming from active directory (AD).
