for reasons i'm still investigating, something happened to my
birthdays where even when in the contact a birthday is listed as
10/28, the appointment is scheduled in 1/28.

this is what i did, i erased all birthday appointments in calendar.

my question is, does outlook automatically regenerate the birthdays
based on the birthday field in contacts?

If not, how can we force regen?

thanks for the help.

Yes, it does, if you update something in the contact record that causes it
to be rewritten.

If not, how can we force regen?

I've seen mention of a tool that will do that, but I can't find the
reference any more. Perhaps someone else will know.

Thanks for the reply but I'm not about to update each of the contacts
so that outlook can regenerate the birthday appointments in calendar.
is there a way or a tool to force regenaration?

I wanted to resolve it first without having to resort to 3rd party
apps.

Your exact words were "is there a tool...". I pointed you to possible tools.
If Outlook had a bult-in way to do it, I would have told you about it.
