Default Office 2007: Outlook - Windows Contact Import Problem

Thanks Brian. I guess I am stuck with Windows Mail and Windows Contact then.
I am most reluctant to re-enter all that data into Outlook again. I am
disappointed that such a problem would arise between two Microsoft programs.

I have been using Windows Mail and Windows Contact as my email and
contact programs. I have just installed Office 2007 and want to replace
Mail and Contact by Outlook. However, when I tried to import my contacts
into Outlook, I find that some fields are missing:

Birthday
Anniversary
Spouse/Partner
Children

I see that there are fields for Birthday and Spouse/Partner in Outlook
but the data has not been imported. As for Anniversay and Children, I
can't find these fields in Outlook.

What can I do to make sure that all these fields are properly imported?


There's nothing you can do. As far as I can tell, those fields aren't
included in the import map and you can't export them from Windows Mail,
either.
