Force all Birthdays from Imported Contacts into Calendar

[Kim]

I have imported a client list from an CSV file and excel file into my
contacts within Outlook. After custom mapping the fields, birthdays are
recorded under each contact but they are not sent to the calender. Is there a
way to automatically upload every birthday from all 1000 contacts without
doing each one individually? I'm using Outlook 2007.

You could import a CSV file containing the birthdays into the calendar.

import them into the calendar, similar to how you imported them into contacts.

Assuming you want outlook to create them automatically, you'll need to
either open and save each contact to kick the process off or use an add-in:

I've seen Contacts tools you can buy that will do that. Here's one for US
