    I have manually entered 75 contacts in one computer. The purpose was to enter the birthdays for these contacts so they would show up on the calender and notify of upcoming birthdays. This works fine for the computer that I entered the contacts into. Now I exported the contacts to a 'cvs' file and imported them into another computer. In this computer the birthdays are not on the calender. Is there a way to synchronize all these contact's birthdays with the calender?

    Does the other pc also have Office 2003? Going backwards in version would probably be an issue.

    Probably should try File->Export to .pst file. (can select contacts only)

    You could experiment by adding a new contact to the original machine...You now have an issue is that you'll get dupes if you import again....

    You'll have to import the calendar also. It is a .pst file.
