Recurring Holidays Except Sundays

[cyndiwise notsowise]

I am using Outlook 2007, and am trying to set up recurring US Postal
Holidays. I'm stumped as to how to schedule recurring holidays with a Sunday
exception. For instance, Veteran's Day is every November 11. The US Postal
Service observes this holiday on Nov. 11 UNLESS it occurs on a Sunday. Is
there a way to make an exception in a recurring holiday so that if the date
falls on a Sunday, the program moves it to the closest workday?

no, outlook doesn't support things like that.

Thanks - I suspected as much. I'd like to suggest that Microsoft consider
this feature for future updates - Lotus Notes has had that feature for many
years.

I've seen 3rd party utilities that might this.
This is one: http://www.programurl.com/ws-repeat-appointment.htm
Also try http://www.slipstick.com/addins/calendar.asp but I think there are
more out there.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, WS Repeat Appointment has not been
updated since Nov. 2005, so most likely it's not fully compatible with OL
2007. The Slipstick website only had WS Repeat Appointment, no other choices
for repeating appointments with an irregular schedule. Google did not turn up
any alternatives either, only WS Repeat Appointment.

If anyone else knows of a third party addin that would be compatible with OL
2007 and would help set up repeating appointments with an irregular schedule,
I would love to hear from you.

Why not write to software at websetters dot co dot uk and ask them?

There's something more recent that was posted in these forums.
Unfortunately, I didn't save the link and can't locate it via Google myself.
I think the publisher posted the link here.
Try WS Repeat Appointment - not much has changed (especially with
recurrences) and it is most likely it will work.
