Sylvia: In Calendar-4.png (attached), I set up a new contact (Testy Test) with a birthday (12/15/2011) and anniversary (12/16/2011) only in the Birthday & Anniversary calendar, and I removed the check mark in the "Alarms in notification area only" box in "preferences/alarms". However, there are still no reminders/et al. Regarding CalendarAlarmSettings-3.png (attached), for all the B&As I had done a "Copy to Calendar/Personal" command so that I could open the "Appointment-Birthday or -Anniversary" from the Personal Calendar and set up the alarms "for the event", and also mark the event as "recurring every year forever". Perhaps, once the reminder/et al features are made to work, the Birthday & Anniversary Calendar has the event set up as an all day event and recurring every year forever???? Is that the intention? I did discover a feature that I hadn't seen before -- when I click on the date/time icon at the top right of my desktop, the drop-down calendar has the B&A dates in bold print, altho it is a faint contrast to the normal print, at least for my old eyes. See -4.png. Thanks for your help - still stumped, Bill
