New Contacts Birthdays Not Adding To Calendar

I have created a couple of new contacts on my Axim X51v, running WM5. For some reason, the new contacts birthdays are not showing up on the calendar. Have I forgotten a step? Any suggestions?

are you using default calendar program?
if so, i don't believe it supports it.

i use PI.

Well, it added them in the past, that's why I'm confused by this.

PI?

the default calendar does support birthdays - have you synced your data with your PC yet ?

Laura,

You know what... you said the thing to trigger my thinking. Somehow "Contacts" got unchecked in Active Sync. Once I checked that again, there they are in my calendar! Thanks for asking me just the right question to make me look again. Yeah...

yes, I think you can enter birthdays for contacts on the pda, but it's not until you sync them and they get into OUTLOOK, that the birthday is created as a calendar item.
