The contact was edited at some point to remove the birthdates - most likely
during a sync. The only way to get the dates back is by adding them back
yourself. There is not an automated process. (If you have a backup you can
copy the contacts from it.)

When you create a contact and add a birthday, outlook creates the event on
the calendar. This calendar event is not deleted when the birthday is
deleted from the contact.

Yes, I sync with a blackberry. So you say that is the reason birthday
dates
don't appear in the display tab? Is there a way to have the birthday dates
appear since you say they are not deleted, even though the value in the
field
went to "none". Thank you kindly for your help.

Do you sync with a handheld device? That is the usual cause of things
like
this. The calendar item is separate from the contact and is not deleted
when the field is set to 'none'.

Why do the birthdays disappear on the display tab. I try to find
peoples
birthday and can't seem to locate them. They still show up in calendar
view.
Im using OL.2007 vista. Can this be the way the program is ? Thanks
much
for
any comment on this.
