Contacts B'days not on Calendar after transfer to another comp
I got this much info from Google! Anyone can cut & paste links. Obviously
this is not something you can help with. Sorry, did not intend to embarrass you. 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?

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. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

Actually all the information you need is in the links I posted, and the
correct method for transferring data is posted here every day: You open the PST file and copy the data you want from it into your current PST file. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Keith" wrote in message news  I got this much info from Google!

Contacts B'days not on Calendar after transfer to another comp
Actually I tried replicating his issue and I get the same results. If
I copy my contacts to a PST then delete all my contacts. When I copy them back to my contacts list the birthdays and anniversaries are not replicated into the calendar.

Not here. When I copy Contacts, their birthdays appear in the Calendar.
