For $9.95 at Epocware, you can download a program that will enable you to synchronize all your birthdays stored in Microsoft Outlook to your P800 calendar.

Excellent product!

Went over to the site. It doesn't claim to do what you said it does (though it should, if you're right.) It says, "Enter your events in Handy Dates and it will automatically enter them into Calendar application and will notify you a few days before each event (so, you have time to buy a present)!"

Currently, if you put recurring dates into your P800 it will sync to Outlook. The problem has been the other way around.

I guess I'll dl the demo and see what's really up here.

P.S. Dl'd and took a quick look. It claims to use birthdays that are setup within the contact list. Unfortunately, all mine are kept in Outlook's Calendar section. Still no solution! Thanks, though.

They added a function called "Import Contacts" which will search for every contact with a birthday in Outlook and import them in the P800.
It is working with my P800.

If you have your birthdays in outlook as an appointment with allocated time slot instead as an allday event, it synchronizes beautifully with P800. You just need to repeat that appointment annually and name it "Birthday....". I've got no problems!
