Remove birthday entries from Outlook 2007 Calendar

There must be an application your client is using to import that data. The application should be reviewed to see of that Birthdate Import can be commented out of the code.

You didn't mention what application is being used for the data import. Whoever wrote that application has the ability to make that change.

@TG-TIS - My client receives a monthly CSV file with his client data from the CRM company that he then imports into Outlook.

Ok, then the company that maintains the app that creates the CRV needs to make the modification. They control the data,

@TG-TIS - My client doesn't want the birthday data omitted from the CSV.  Rather, they want the birthday info to stay with the contact information, just not have it auto-populate the calendar.

Actually, whatever app you use to import the data into the calendar is what has to be modified. I suggest contacting the person or company that wrote that import application to make the modifications. it could be a VB script, a c# app or any other type of app that was written.  This is a programming change. if you are not a programmer, you don't have any programming experience, you probably should consult with the proper person to make sure it works as the client expects.

@TG-TIS - The program being used to import the CSV is Outlook itself.  There is no other import application being used.  The setting, from my understanding, is somewhere in Outlook but I haven't yet been able to find it.  I am a bit familiar with programming.

Here is how you create a calendar import
•Open Microsoft Outlook
•Select FILE >>> IMPORT AND EXPORT...
•Select "Import from another program or file" and click Next.
•Select "Comma Separated Values (Windows)" and click Next.
•Find the .csv file you just downloaded and select "Do not import duplicate items" then click Next.
•Select Calendar and click Next.
•The next window will have a title that says 'The following actions will be performed:' above an option to 'Import the "(filename).csv" into folder: Calendar.'
•Check that box and and click on 'Import "(filename).csv" into folder: Calendar'
•From there, click and drag needed fields from the left window into the right window. It is fairly self-explanatory, but the basic corresponding fields are below:

SUBJECT to Subject
 START_DATE to Start Date
 START_TIME to Start Time
 END_TIME to End Time
 DESCRIPTION to Description
 LOCATION to Location

•And if you'd like Outlook to place a reminder: REMINDER_ON_OFF to Reminder On/Off
•Click OK
•Then Click Finish

@TG-TIS - I appreciate your responses but I think you missed my main point.  We are not doing a calendar import; we are doing a contacts import that contains birthdays which Outlook auto-populates to the Outlook calendar.

I'm sorry, I don't have that expertise.

@TG-TIS - No worries.  I truly appreciate your efforts.

Anyone else have any ideas?

@BlueDevilFan,

That is what I am finding also. Having a second opinion is what I needed.

Thanks!

You're welcome!
