I am wanting to import a birthday listing into Outlook 2007 calendar from a
csv file but, need to set the recurrnce pattern to yearly, is there a way to
do that in the csv file or after the fact without pulling up each enty. Here
are the current headers in my file
Subject Start Date Start Time All day event Reminder on/off Reminder Date
Reminder Time

There's no way to do it from the CSV, as far as I know. I was going to
suggest that since birthdays are events (i.e., they last all day), you could
display your calendar in the Events view and then select the birthdays and
drag them to the "Yearly" category to make them yearly events, but when I
tried it, even though they were added to the "Yearly" category, they didn't
actually become yearly until I opened them, clicked the "Recurrence" button,
then clicked OK. Then they became weekly events. So, it appears that you
must open each.
