Instead of entering them in Dates, you have to add the date to the person's
card in Names (Add->Date). Then when you open Dates, it will sense that new
birthdays or anniversaries and ask you if you want to add them. *Then* Avi's
will sense them.

Makes sense, when you think about it... the dates are associated directly with
the person.
