Adding Chinese holidays to Outlook 2002 Calendar

[playmissy4me]

Hi,

I've been all over the place, looking for a way to add Chinese holidays
to the Outlook calendar. Already checked within Outlook and Chinese
holidays are not on the list of countries available. Taiwan, which
would probably be the same is also not available. I've been to
Slipstick, as suggested by someone, but can't find any Chinese holiday
files to add to the outlook.txt file. Anybody have any ideas?

How does that help in adding the holidays to Outlook?

maybe because it's a list of the holidays and it could easily be copied into
excel and edited for import into outlook?

Well, I appreciate you guys for trying, but I don't think this is going
to work. The guy I'm speaking with is trying to import Chinese
holidays into Outlook. He is specifically interesting in Golden Week,
which he tells me is Chinese New Year. On the webpage I was directed
to, the traditional holidays are not shown in terms of our calendar,
rather they are shown as they appear on the traditional Chinese
calendar. For instance, the 15th day of the first month (which is not
necessarily January 15). In addition, the link provided, while very
interesting, doesn't contain updated holiday information anyway. Most
of the dates provided are back in 2002 and 2003. If anybody else has
any ideas, just holler.
