Hi Robert!
Thanks for your reply. The trick works fine. However it is not straight forward when having around 4000 contacts!

Thanks a lot

Didn't you migrate the Calendar for this mailbox?
Another way to go would be to use a macro to rewrite the field.
- Yes the migration was done.
Any hint on how to make this macro? Any risk?There is an add-in from Outlook-Stuff for this and fellow Outlook MVP Diane Poremsky has published a vba macro as well.
There is no risk to it if you've got your backups in order ;-)
If you are being prompted for macro security settings or if you are in an environment which does not allow the use of unsigned macro's, you can self-sign your vba macro.
- Hi !
I have used the macro mentioned. Where it copies the birthday to a temporary variable than replace the birthday by now and finally replace the birthday by the temporary variable value.
I had around 5000 contacts. However; in outlook today the birthday of the contacts is not appearing with other event of the day. To note that i am using outlook 365.
NB: To note that birthday calendar is showing the birthdays.
My issue is with the outlook today where i want a combination of all events (birthday+meetings...)
