How can I get Outlook to remind me of the birthdays that I have entered in.
I just re-installed Office 2003 and lost this default.

Do you have reminders set on the birthday events that should be in your
Calendar folder?

Well you said you've got the birthdays in your Calendar, so I was wondering
if you've got reminders set on those items

The birthdays are not in the calendar they are part of the Outlook contact
information.

Did you perhaps import your .pst file when you set up Outlook/Office?
importing will always mess with items like this.

Open the contacts who have birthdays, change one item in the birthday (day
perhaps) and then change it back. Do this for each of your contacts with
birthdays. They should now show in the calendar with a reminder/
