Outlook 2003 and 2007 Calendar Holidays

[Guest]

I am having a problem:

1 - My holidays are all in duplicate - where is the file located that
controls this, so I can delete it. Where can I get a new copy?

Also - is there a file that has all the religious holidays? I would like to
view those as well.

Thanks,

Hi SJMP,

The holidays are stored in the file named outlook.hol. The holidays in Outlook is controlled in the calendar options. We can delete them
and then add a new copy to fix the issue. Following is the key steps. Note: I suppose that you are using Outlook 2003. If you use other
version of Outlook, please change the steps accordingly.
------------------------
1. Go to the Calendar folder. Click the View menu > Arrange By > Current View > By Category.
2. There should be a Holidays category. Highlight the holidays category and press Shift+Delete. When it prompts, choose OK, Yes
to delete them.
3. And then click the Tools menu > Options > in the Preferences tab, click Calendar Options > click Add Holidays > choose US or
other location which you want > Click OK.
Note: In the Add Holidays list, you can also check if there is the religious holidays which you want (for example, 'Jewish religious
holidays').
4. Thus, all the US holidays are added in the calendar folder. Click OK, OK.

If anything is unclear or if you have any other concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Regards,
