While creating BCM contacts, if you enter Birthday or Anniverary it will
prompt your to create a calendar item. if you choose to do so, these items
will be created in Outlook calendar. BCM inherits this behavior from Outlook
contacts.
Note that BCM database is seperate from Outlook data. BCM doesn't support
calendar feature, so it creates item in Outlook calendar. Now if you are
syncing your calendar, these items will sync along with rest of the calendar
items. (Since they are all stored in same folder). :
1. You can delete these birthdays from Outlook calendar. An easy way to do
is to change the calendar view to Event view by View->Current View->Annual
Events while you are in calendar folder. You can delete the birthdays.
2. When you create Business Contacts in future and if you have entered bday
information, select no in the prompt that you see when asking if you want to
create this appointment.
