contact birthday recurring

[Michele]

I'm trying to find the easiest/quickest way to enter Contact birthdays for a
recurring reminder every year. I understand how and where to enter the
birthday, but I would like to be reminded of the birthday 1 or 2 weeks in
advance. Is that possible to do from Contacts? From what I can tell, the
only way to do that is to enter the birthday and then go to the date on the
Calendar and select the birthday and choose "open the series". I then get
the Reminder timeframe option.

So, to clarify my question...is there any other way to do this from the
Contact screen rather than going back through the Calendar? And, if not and
I have to do it thru the Calendar, will it keep the Reminder timeframe every
year if I set it thru the "Series" vs. "Occurrence" item??

Thank you!
Michele

No from Contacts, and yes from Calendar persisting.
