Birthdays don't appear on calendar

[Wesley]

Hi everyone
I used to be able to input a birthday or anniversary into the field of a
Contact and these would show up on the calendar (as a recurring "All Day
Event"). They no longer do and I cannot figure out why. I have searched
with Google and throughout Microsoft (and ended up here) with no luck.

As far as I can tell I have not changed any settings on PC. I'm running
Vista Business (and extremely happy with it) with auto updates turned on,
Office 2007 and I also sync with TyTNII.

Previously I was using the TyTN II to sync with both this computer (home)
and work computer. I ceased this a while back as the work computer is
running Outlook 2002 (WinXP) and it can't seem to handle daylight savings and
was screwing up my "All Day Events" (on TyTN II and home computer they
appeared to span two days - from 0100 to 0100) that spanned the Nov-Mar
daylight savings period!! I ceased the double syncing a couple of months ago
now, but as I don't enter a birthday every day I'm not sure if it coincided
with the problem or not. I'm hoping this isn't the issue as I don't feel
like rebuilding my PC again.

This is driving me crazy and any ideas advice would be greatly appreciated.
However, please don't suggest I add birthdays/anniversaries as manual
recurring entry into calendar (I know I can do this, but would like to fix
the problem, not work around it).

Thanks
