Macro for birthdays

[Malka]

I've imported 200 birthdays and anniversaries into my outlook 2007 contact
list using a csv file. The dates are showing up in the details in the
contact list but they are not showing up on the calendar. I've found that if
I open each file, go to the details, click on the date, and save the contact
it will show up on the calendar. However, I'm dreading doing this for 200
entries. Any advice?

Thanks!

You cannot import events to a Contacts folder and have it make any sense.
There is no such thing in outlook as a "contacts list". Moreover, you cannot
import events and have them associated with contacts. If you import a CSV
containing calendar events, such as birthdays and anniversaries, then the
events will be in the Calendar folder. Please tell us what you really did, in
detail, describing the exact steps.

there is a 3rd party addin and probably a macro at outlookcode.com. If not,
try the program_vba groups on this server. The addin is cheap enough that
its really not worth the time to mess with vba.
