Holidays issue

[Tcs]

I'm currently using Outlook 2k. (I expect to go to 2k3 in the next month or
two.) I have two calendars. I'm assuming that the one at the top of the
"Folder List" pane, just under "Outlook Today - [Mailbox to - Tom], is the
default calendar. I have two more, both at the bottom of this pane, in "Public
folders\All Public Fodlers". One appears to be a general organization wide
calendar, and the other is for us here in the IT dept. (I just looked at the
general one for the first time, and there is at least one appt for EACH and
EVERY workday of the year, including many Saturdays & Sundays.)

My question concerns holidays. Only the calendar I believe to be the "default"
calendar, shows holidays. (I installed the updated holiday file to get holidays
past 2002.) But the holidays do NOT show in either of the two other calendars.
For the IT calendar, I add holidays to show the days we're closed for business.
Like this year, we were closed Friday 12/23 & Monday 12/26 for Christmas. I
just finished adding these holidays for 2006.

But the IT calendar is the only place the holidays I've added show up. So only
we in IT know what days we get off.

Is there not some way I can update the other calendars? Can't any "public"
calendars refer back to some "main" calendar to get legal holidays? And can't I
add our days off to this "main" calendar so EVERYONE in our organization will
see the days we get off? If so, how?

I thank you for your help, in advance,

Tom

You can copy the holidays from one folder to another. The By Category view of your Calendar folder should be helpful.
