In addition to actual appointments/meetings, I track "all day" events such as birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, etc on my calendar.  Whenever I have an all day event entered on the calendar, scheduled appointments show up in red.  Also, if I open the appointment, I see a message telling me that the appointment/meeting "Conflicts with another appointment on this Calendar".

I am sure that I am not the only person who uses their calendar to track all day events as well as scheduled appointments.  Has anyone found a way around this situation.  Is there another way to enter all day events so that they do show up on the calendar but don't create conflicts with scheduled appointments?  I realize this doesn't cause any true problems, but I would prefer that this not be "reported" as a conflict.

Thank you,

Ron Bernier

One solution is to enter the Birthday or Anniversay in that contact's informtion rather than in the calendar, and it will then show in the calendar.

Your solution to put the birthday in the calendar is fine, except, I don't have a contact entry for my 5 and 2 yr old. I would also like to have anniversaries. It seems all day re-occuring events disappear. Why? They are on the device and I tried syncing back device to outlook to get those appts back and that didn't work.....

My solution for the birthdays of children was to add them to my contacts - name and date of birth only  Ex: Alex Smith  Birthday 10/21/2007

 For anniversaries, I added the husband & wife as a contact with name and marriage date only.  Ex: Jim & Mary Smith  Anniversary  09/14/1996.
