adding holidays to calendar

[Jeff]

I seem to be able to add holidays for the current year to my calendar using
Tools/Options/ Calendar Options - but how can I add holidays for NEXT year
(and subsequent years?) Even if I select a date in 2008 before adding the
holidays, it simply puts them in this year again so I have two copies in
2007 but none in 2008. Can you offer a solution please - I'm sure it must
be a simple thing I'm not seeing...
Thanks

Just make the current year a recurring event.

Making all of the holidays recurring events will throw errors for many holidays.

Thanks Milly, with that advice I was able to edit my own holiday file and
get it just how I want it - even renaming someo f them! Much appreciated.

When first released, Outlook 2003's holiday file only went until 2007.
Microsoft has released an update that will go through 2012.
