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.


What you need to realise is that Outlook is designed for business use
primarily, where things like anniversaries, birthdays, children etc etc are
not of the first priority...
