Is it possible to have the birthdays from my contacts setup to automatically
remind me???? I can't seem to find any way to have them poulate from my
contact to my calendar. Any help would be appreciated! --Thanks
 
Outlook does that automatically if you use the Birthday Field in the COntact
and you have the default on for reminders on appointments.

What version? Did you enter their birthday in the Birthday field?
And most importantly - are you using only 1 Contacts folder?????

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Thanks for your response...The birthday field was automatically filled in
from when I imported the contacts. Also, could you tell me how to set the
"default on for reminders on appointments"??
 
Here you are:

tools | options. Right there on that screen is the default for all meeting
reminders.

Click to expand...

However, importing contacts won't cause the automatic addition of the
birthday to the calendar. You must manually enter it. WHy did you import
contacts? Where they in a spreadsheet?
