Birthday issue for contacts

[Darren]

Hi when I create a new contact and add a birthday using
the SetBirthday method, a calendar event gets created.
However within my synchronization workflow it is common to
delete and recreate contacts. The deletion does NOT remove
the associated calendar event and the insertion of a new
contact results in a second calendar event being created.
This is problematic as our users sycnh about once a day.

Is their anyway to either
a) delete the calendar event at the same time as the
contact (I don't know what to associate them with)
or better
b) prevent the creation of a calendar event when setting
the birthday field?

(VB or C++ is fine)

Thanks,

Darren

Can't prevent it from being created. You can trap the ItemAdd event on
the Items collection of the Calendar and delete the event when it is
created.
