Default Contacts B'days not on Calendar after transfer to another comp

For anyone out there that might could help. I want to transfer only
the Contacts and have the birthdays of the contacts show in my
existing Outlook calender. When I tried to transfer, all outlook
folders transferred. Now I have another set of Outlook folders.
I do not have a Contacts folder in the Outlook Data File on the
computer I'm transferring from. Is this what I'm missing?


Right. After adding the second PST to your mail profile, open the Contacts
folder it contains, select the contacts with CTRL-A, then click EditCopy to
Folder, specifying your default Contacts folder as the destination. Now
open the Calendar folder in the added PST, display the calendar in the
"Annual Events" or "Recurring Appointments" (or, if you've categoried the
birthdays, in "By Category") view, select all the birthdays and click
EditCopy to Folder, specifying your default Calendar as the destination.
In fact, I'm not entirely convinced you'll need to transfer the birthdays.
Transferring the contacts with Copy could very well cause Outlook to add the
birthdays in the contact records to your calendar automatically (I didn't
test it).

Once you've copied what you want, right-click the added PST's root and
choose Close to remove it from your mail profile.
