I never new that Outlook imported the Holidays for you. I work for a school district and we need to be aware of all holidays... do you know if Outlook has another option where I could imported ethnic/cultural holidays such as Passover? Thank you… I never new that Outlook imported the Holidays for you.

So I went into the appointment entry for each of the holidays, and scheduled it for a yearly recurrence, using whatever rules applied to that holiday (every dec. 31st for new years eve, last thursday of november every year for thanksgiving, etc...) and now my holidays stretch on into every future year...no editing of files on a yearly basis. To do this yourself, double click on the appointment entry in your calendar, click on the recurrence button, and choose yearly on the left, and the appopriate rule on the right, and then click 'OK'.

Edit the file by writing a new list of holiday dates, or anything else you want to show in the calendar, following closely the formatting method which is clear to see in the layout. I'm sure an internet search will reveal the full story, I do not have time to explain more fully. It can be done, I update the file annually for my office with a customised Corporate Calendar.
