Holiday

[Ray]

I have added the local holiday in options but cannot see it in calendar. I
am using Outlook 2002. Can someone tell me possible fixes.

Thanks,

Ray

Ray:
I was having the same problem, and came here hoping to
find the answer. Well, I didn't necessarily find the
answer here, but something someone else said got me
thinking - I tried it and it worked.
Go to View, and change view to Events. Then delete
everything in the file. Then go back to Tools and add
the holidays again. It worked for me.
I also found a website that had more holiday info that
you can import at
http://www.slipstick.com/calendar/holidays.htm
It has Good Friday, etc.

Now I have to figure out why the holidays aren't bolded.
If its no one thing...

Craig,

I now discover that the holidays are incorrect. For example, the Chinese
New Year Holiday in 2004 is in Jan but Outlook holiday in Feb. Did
Microsoft correct it or I need to modify manually?

Thanks,

Ray

They're not bolded because they're all day events. Only timed appointments
cause bolding in the Date Navigator.

If you go to the page at slipstick.com that Craig pointed you to, you can
find out if there are any known fixes for the wrong holiday dates -- if not,
you can open the holidays file in a text editor and fix it there, or just
fix the holiday directly on your own calendar if you're not sharing the
holidays file with anyone else (in a corporate setting, for example).
