Holidays viewable in Outlook calendar?

[Ben]

Hi there,

Do you know of anyway to have worldwide holidays
highlighted in the outlook calendar. By holidays I
mean 'Labour Day' and 'Christmas Day' etc...

We are running exchange 2000 and Outlook XP.

Kind Regards,
Ben

Highlighted how? And what do you mean by International Holidays? Can't you
add them from the Calendar menu under Tools->Options->Calendar?

Cool - glad to educate the master!

Also, if you know of anyone using Outlook 2000 or earlier, the holidays stop
at 2002. This addin:

I'll have a look and see what I can see under the calendar
options when I get in to work.

By international holidays I meant if it is Bank Holiday in
France then it might say (Bastille Day - France) or a
festival where the majority of the country is not expected
to work.

When I said 'highlighted' I was thinking something similar
to 'all day event' but only for that company.

Thankyou for your help!
