MS outlook - Birthdays one day behind

[gqquintano]

i had entered in all my contacts into outlook last year with the correct birthdays. but for some reason now all the birthdays are appearing one day behind? is there anyway to fix this without having to go back and redo each individual birthday?

I suspect this problem was caused by a daylight savings time change.  What timezone are you in?  Do you synchronise with a PDA?  Did you enter the appointments as 12am-12am, or as all day events?

i do sync with my treo 700w i had entered the birthdays in the contact information. they were not created as appointments.  when you input contact info it asks to enter thier birthdate.

Oh dear.  I think there are some issues with this phone.  See >this< article.  You may need to badger Palm about this.  

I have found the "birthdays" function of Outlook's contacts database less than satisfactory in the past.  I've had a Palm and I now have a WinMobile phone - fully synchronised with two PCs at once.  I always ended up with lots of duplicated birthdays for some reason.  Also, Outlook seems to handle birthdays slightly differently to any other annual recurring event.  Goodness knows why.

Not that helpful to you now, but that "feature" may be best avoided.
