Microsoft Outlook Express-Birthday/Anniversary reminders

[aneetakrishnan7]

My calendar had a lot of contacts. When I was in my previous company,
the anniversary/b'day information in the Contacts would automatically
get picked up as a calendar item and I used to get a reminder. When I
downloaded the back up into my current laptop that link is gone and I
do not get any reminders now. Now there is no corresponding item in
the Outlook Calendar. Is there a way to get that reminder again?

Are we to assume you mean Outlook and not Outlook Express?
If so, transferring data incorrectly will break all links, such as those
between birthdays and the calendar. These links will be created
automatically in your new installation as you add birthdays when you have
your installation configured correctly. How did you create your Contacts?
Have you configured the Outlook Addressing Service in your current profile?
