complicated rules for recurring holidays

M

Michael Moser

Hi all,
a question re. the definition of recurring events:

Zurich (Switzerland) has a very odd holiday next Monday, whose
recurrence rule essentially is "on the Monday after the second Sunday
in September".
So far I had simplified that to "second Monday in September", but this
year, the 1st Sep. was a Monday (thus the preceding Sunday was still
in August) and so my calendar displays the holiday falsely today (i.e.
on the 8th) instead of next Monday (15th), as would be correct.

Just out of curiosity: Is there a way to define the above correct rule
in Outlook 2002 (SP-2)? The standard dialog does not seem to offer any
possibility to enter such a condition.
Or can one handle such cases only by reverting to individual entries
(or moving certain individual entries by hand thus creating an
"exception" from the rule and essentially removing that occurrence
from the series)?

You can edit and deploy your own OUTLOOK.HOL file for this and insert set
Outlook to import these setings. To import them go to Tools-> Options-> tab
Preferences-> button Calendar Options...-> button Add Holidays.

Hope this helps!
