recurring events 51 weeks overdue

When my annual events are due within the next 7 days; I receive a message
that the annual events are 51 weeks overdue?

Any suggestions other than rebuilding the .pst file?
 
This seems to be a constant problem with annual events.

How can you tell if the annual event is generated by the detail "anniversary
date" from Contacts or by the an annual recurring event created in the
calendar?

PS In Windows Mobile, a recurring annual event such as a birthday or
anniversary displays the numberic value such as the person's age or the
couple's number of years married. Is there a way to display those numeric
values in the Outlook 2007 calendar?


Thanks,

unless you add the birthday category, you can tell looking at the category.
The reminder time is also different - 18 hrs for events you create, 15 min
default if outlook creates them.

On the PS - no, outlook can't add the yr to the subject.

For over a year now, I have Outlook 2007 (now SP1) installed (plus a
Smartphone with Windows Mobile 6.0, which I synchronize daily). The "51 weeks
overdue"-Problem occurs on my Outlook system with *all* recurring annual
calendar events generated by contact birthday entries, not just *some* of
them. It is a problematic bug, because, a reminder should only appear if
something is really urgent. If there are many useless reminders coming up,
over time, the user will tend to ignore reminders alltogether.
 
Then remove the reminder from the birthdays - but note that your problem is
caused in part by syncing recurring events.
