When we attempt to apply this, some people receive the message, "The expected
version of the product was not found on your system." We are using Office XP
(Word & Excel) but Outlook 2003. I say some people because I was able to
install it on my system but other were not. Any ideas?

Just download the HOL file. Outlook 2002 and 2003 use the same HOL file
format. It's a plain text file. After downloading it, just double-click to
being the process of loading the holidays. You might consider deleting all
existing holidays first.

Brian,

Thank you. I followed your instructions, but I am one of the people that
get the "The expected version of the product was not found on your system" I
am using XP with Outlook 2003. When I download the file, it is an *.exe file,
I did not have an option do download any HOL file form the above referenced
website link. Can you help?

Thank you!

Shannon

go to http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/missinghol.htm - at the bottom there
is a link to a HOL file you can download. It works with all versions that
use HOL files. Older versions use txt file extension and there is a version
for them as well. These are the exact same file as in the offical version
from Microsoft in the exe.
