I have copied by contact information from one computer to another, both
Outlook 2003. I can see the birth date information within contacts, but it
doesn't show up on the calendar. If I enter a new contact the birth date
does come over to the calendar. How do I get all the contact birth dates
to show up on my calendar?

This is one of the oft-repeated problems with importing data from one
Outlook installation to the other. If you import native Outlook data, you
will lose the connection between contacts and birthdays. Instead, OPEN the
contacts to the new contact folder from the copied open .pst file.
