Thanks for the tip but I don't think it answers my question. I'm not
trying to change reminder times from let's say 15 minutes to 30
minutes or 1 day. The problem is this:

when i enter a bday to a contact, outlook automatically puts a
reminder. that's fine.

but when it is added programatically (example by fonebook
application), outlook doesn't seem to update. I know this because I
check the contact and it's got the birthday field filled in, but i
look at the date and there's no reminder.

so the question is, how can i force outlook to go through all the
contacts and create the reminders?
