Update for Outlook 2002 calendar holidays

[alnmike]

Hi!

My version of Outlook Calendar has no holiday dates after 2005. I've looked for Microsoft update/add-in, but there doesn't seem to be one for version 2002. Anyone else had this?

Thanks

First of all make sure you have all the updates available

(Help, “Office on the Web”, then the Office XP “Check for updates” options on

Microsoft’s web site – there are quite a few updates around but they don’t fix

everything).  If you have not done it

before, you will need to use Internet Explorer (does not work in Firefox) and

you will need to agree to Microsoft installing an Office-update plug-in to

Internet Explorer. This is pretty automatic – you just agree to it.

Outlook 2002 should have all the UK and French holidays to end-2007.  Try re-adding the holidays (Tools, Options

(General tab), Calendar Options … (button), Add Holidays …(button)).  Add the holidays for e.g. France again.  It will tell you they are already installed,

but add them again though this will double-up the previous holidays (i.e. 25

Dec 2005 will have two entries for Christmas Day (France), etc.).

Outlook 2002 does have some issues with holidays for some

countries after 2005 (e.g. Australia), but UK and France are OK.  It is unlikely M$ will sort out the missing

holiday issue.
