Hi Milly
No the contact birthdays in question do not show up in any views. I can
view by categorys, annual events, active appointments etc and a lot of
existing birthdays do show up, but the ones I've added recently do not show
up.

It is very frustrating. I was hoping someone might know of a setting or
something I had inadvertantly turned off.

I have noticed on Microsoft website that they advertise a plug-in by third
party to do this exact thing, but I don't want to fork over 10 Euros for
something that Outlook already does. Beside I like to keep to my PC as lean
as possible as far as add-ins from different sources go. I'd prefer just to
stick to MS stuff if possible.

Thanks
Wes.

Hi Diane
No, they do not show up.

I can add a birthday to an existing contact and it doesn't show up. I can
add a new contact (including birthday) and the birthday doesn't show in the
calendar. I have also tried adding a new contact into the phone, synced and
the birthday for the contact doesn't show in calendar either.

The birthday data is definately in the contact as I can see it in the
Details View and also in the All Fields (Personal Fields) veiw.

Thanks for trying. I will keep looking around at this end.

Wes.
