import birthday field

Hi there,
I'm trying hard to import a birthday field from excel into outlook contacts.
Every field works OK except the Anniversary and Birthdayfield.
Even when exporting contacts with filled in birthday fields from Outlook
into an excel format and then re importing those, the birthday field stays
blank.... Would anyone know the solution? I tried all sort of cell formats in
Excel, all in vain.

Hope to hear from you.

My guess would be that the column formatting for the birthday and
anniversary are set properly in Excel.
