I've imported 500 contacts. Can calendar show ALL birthdays?

I've imported over 500 contacts to Outlook. Must I enter each birthday in my
Outlook calendar to make it a recurring event, or is there an easy way to
make my calendar pick up and show every birthday automatically?

Try using a list view of the contacts folder then go down the listing in one
field add & remove a space then continue down the list. That should be
enough editing to get the contact to re-save and save the birthday to your
calendar.

The thread was useful. But is there a patch which can help fix the problem
quickly in one go instead of manually fixing up each birthday? I too have
many contacts with birthdays. I'm using Outlook 2002.

Thanks.
