How do I load 2008 holidays in Outlook 2003?

[Tilpa Gal]

I have just started working for a Charitable Institution and they only have
Outlook 2003 - and its not likely that they can afford to upgrade it. I have
to book all the Board meetings and other functions, so I need the public
holidays loaded into Outlook.

Outlook 2003 only came load with Holidays for the years 2003-2007. So now
its 2008 is there anyway I can download the holidays for 2008 onwards? Or am
I going to have to go through and load each one individually myself?

Thanx in advance for any help on this!

Oh my freaking soul - doesn't ANYONE read the archives of this group since 1-1-08 to see the myriad numbers of posts with the link to update holidays through 2012?

I give up. Users don't want to work for anything - they just want to be spoonfed.

Milly,
Your answer is downright rude!

The reason that I didn't look was because when I typed in the question it
told me that there were no similiar questions in the discussion.
Furthermore, I couldn't actually find a way to view the discussions, so that
I could see whether the answer was already there.

I am guessing that everyone else has got the same response when they entered
their question. I can understand your frustration, but don't take it out on
the users. Take it up with whoever runs the discussions.

FWIW, while upgrading to outlook 2007 would get you the new holiday file, it
will not add them to the calendar (the user needs to do it themselves)...
and anyone who thinks it's a ploy by Microsoft to force people to upgrade...
I have a bridge or two to sell y'all.

Can I be the sales agent? I want a cut of that action!

And your question was downright unnecessary. Ever hear of groups.google.com?
