how do I make birthdays private?

[mikenew]

My contacts birthdays are automatically shown on my outlook calendar. If I
open the recurring series, the appointments tab does not have a "private"
option. How do I leave out my contacts birthdays when printing or viewing my
calendar. Or how do I set up my contacts birthdays to be private so that I
can leave them out?

Thanks

It has a Private button on all versions of Outlook that I have ever used.
Which version are you on?

I found the padlock symbol - thanks for the pointer, but all that does is
change the details of the appointment to "private appointment" - i don't want
to see this type of entry on a calender that I want to print out for purely
business use - any suggestions?

Filter the view so that private events are not shown, then print.

try a using view that hides private appointments - outlook only prints what
it sees on the screen.
