Tip 721: Contact Birthdays

March 17, 2010

When you import contacts, their birthdays are not automatically added to the calendar as they are when you create a new contact manually or edit existing contacts.

You have three options:
1.     Open and save each contact
2.     Use VBA code (http://www.outlookcode.com/d/code/remindbday.htm)
3.     Use a utility: Put Anniversary in Calendar (http://www.rsoutlook.com/us/prods/prod05.html)
