Setting mass birthday reminder

I've recently imported a list of contacts to my Outlook Contacts folder. I'd
like to set a recurring reminder for all of their birthdays. Is there a way
to set this for the whole group rather than going into each contact to set
them individually?

Thanks,
Micah
 
Did they have reminders on them prior to the import? I expect so. Importing
is not the way to move Outlook files from computer to computer and it is
written about here daily. Just move the file and open it and you will not
loose all those reminders for Contact birthdays.

I've been accused of saying "no, it can't be done" too much so this time I
will say "of course you can". :)

You could either add it to the spreadsheet before importing or use a group
by view - see http://www.slipstick.com/emo/2008/up080522.htm#4 for
instructions.
