I have Outlook 2007 and if I understand what you did, you duplicated
yourself. For my Outlook when I add additional info like birthdays it
automatically adds that birthday to the calendar as an all day event. I then
go to that event and change it to my liking; if it is a reoccurring event I
have the choice of changing the reoccurring event or just that one single
event, not sure that was what you were asking but I hope it helps until
someone give you a correct answer.

Subject: [mso] Outlook Integration: Contacts and Dates


I have just spent a couple hours putting in information and now that I've
done it, wondered whether there was a better way

For a list of about 60 people, mostly family, but not all, I've gone into
Outlook for that person, selected their contact record, 

Then, for each person, I opened their contact and added a note about key
dates (Birthdays, Wedding anniversaries, etc.) in the contact area.

Then I opened the Outlook calendar and for each date added an annual
recurring event to remind me, retyping the person's name, and email address
into the event.

Suddenly, I wondered if there was a better way ... some way that would
better integrate the calendar with the contacts.
