Hi,

Not often I ask questions like these, but I am reconfiguring my whole BlackBerry synchronization setup.

I've got a dilemma about synchronizing birthdays. I'd like to be able to update birthdays in Microsoft Outlook and on my BlackBerry for my personal addressbook. Since the Birthday field in Outlook cannot be mapped to a user field.

Birthday reminders can be added by Outlook (annual recurring reminder), however, I'd like to be able to look them up on my BlackBerry too, a little more easily.

I lost my birthday data once, when I had to restore Outlook from the BlackBerry, but I would like to be able to backup the birthday information.

Has anybody here come to a solution for this?

Perhaps third party utility or Outlook VBScript to synchronize between Outlook birthday field and Outlook user field? (user fields are supported on both BlackBerry and Outlook, but the birthday date must be converted to text for storage into a user field)
