When I create a .csv file for import into Outlook, the date format is
M/DD/YYYY. The years happen in the past, so would M/DD format import OK?

No, you need to include the year.

So if the birthday is 1996, can you go back in the calendar (100 birthdays)
and create an recurring event?

If there a field for "yearly recurrence" that can be added to the import?

After its imported, go to the event and make it recurring. If you are
putting in categories, use the by category view and it will be easy to find
all the new events.

Outlook doesn't expose the recurrence fields to the import routine.
