Outlook 2003 - adding holidays to calender

[Guest]

Hi,

I am using windows XP and Outlook 2003. Is there a website or function to
automatically add in the holidays to the calender? There used to be a site
www.calender-updates.com where I could import holidays each year for free. I
loved it. Now they charge to do it. Does anyone know how to import U.S.
holidays into Outlook for free?

Thanks.
Kathy

MS usually updates the holiday file just about when its due to expire (or
just afterwards). What holidays are you missing? My copy of Outlook seems to
have holidays like "Independence Day" until 2007.

There are no holidays loaded on my Outlook calender. To be sure I did a view
by category and checked the holiday categories and there have been no
holidays since 2003! Is there a link that Microsoft has to input holidays
into my Outlook? Again, I have nothing - no independence day or xmas or
anything since 2003.

Thanks!

Hmmm, you can import holidays here in Outlook: Tools menu > Options >
Calendar > Add Holidays

I went to the options you suggested. It said they are already loaded but I
decided to just load them agian. That worked! Thanks!
