Did you at one time use Import to populate your Contacts folder? If yes, then try opening each contact whose birthday does not display correctly/remind correctly and change one item and then change it back and resave it.

After furious head scratching, Marsha asked:
| Milly, since I converted to Office 2007, some (not all) birthdays do
| not produce reminders. I realized this after almost missing a couple
| of important birthdays!
|
| I cannot pinpoint what causes some to work and others not. For
| example, I currently have a reminder under my calendar for an old
| contact, whose birthday is not until June 2. I recently added a
| birthday for one of my other contacts, whose birthday is May 9, and
| there is no reminder.
|
| One difference I see (now that I looked) is that for the latter
| event, it is (as should be) an all day Recurring Event, and the other
| shows up as a Recurring Appointment. So... perhaps Events do not
| automatically generate Reminders? I do not see any option to set a
| reminder, other than the box that lets you specify the number of
| days/hours before.
|
| I also note that some events/appointments cause the day on the
| calendar to be displayed in bold font, and others do not. And some
| reminders -- I am talking about the reminders that appear in the
| To-Do Bar underneath my little calendar, not the ones that pop up in
| a little window -- show the DATE and others only show the day of the
| week and the time.
|
| I don't recall ever having a problem with this in earlier versions of
| Outlook, but then I wasn't using the To-Do Bar. Any ideas?
