I am trying to view all of the birthdays I have in
outlook for this month and next month in aeither a card
view or a list view.

The problem:
  In contacts - I am able to create exactly what I want,
except that the following happens:  The birthday field
does not change, thus, now that the new year has rolled
around, all of the birthdays are for 2003 (or the year of
the persons birth if I know that - ALL in the past) and
they don't appear with the "This month" or "Next month"
filters.
  In Calendar - I tried this also, First I created a
view that shows only thos events that have birthday in
the subject and recurrance is yearly.  This game me a
list of all of the birthdays that I have in OUtlook, but
they are listed by date order including the year (so
12/10/74 appears before 7/27/83)  I want to be able to go
by the date, but ONLY the day and month)

Ideally, using the contacts view that I created above,
using ONLY the month and day will mean that when next
year rolls around, it won't matter, and all January and
February birthdays will appear.

Thusfar, I have gone into the recurring events and each
year changed the date from last year to this year, thus
putting the "Birthday" field in the future again, and
then it appears with "This month" and "Next month"
filters

Did you perform an import of this calendar data from another .pst file?

I have imported this .pst file each time I have upgraded
Outlook over ther last 8 years or so, but not from
a "different" .pst file
