Ok, I know that I have seen this posted someone before, but for some reason, I can't find it. Anyway, I am trying to add the US holidays in Outlook. I figured out how to do it, but it adds them beginning in 1998 and stops in 2002. No holidays are listed beyond 2002. I know that this is probably easily fixed, but it's late and I can't figure it out. Can someone tell me how to add holidays for 2003 and beyond??

As always, thanks for your help!

if you're using an 'older' version of Outlook (ie: Outlook 2000),
I believe I saw a "Holiday's" download to add holidays beyond 2002 for these version on the Microsoft Office website. (http://office.microsoft.com)

OR: http://search.office.microsoft.com/result.aspx?qu=holidays

It's number 6. :)

Outlook 2002 (aka Outlook XP) already has dates built-in through 2005.


UPDATE:

Thanks for the link to that site... very cool to have the sporting events right in my calendar and not having to rely on a avantgo channel.

Looks like Microsoft's page is back up...it was down for awhile. This will give you holidays through 2007. But if you already installed the other one, you may end up with duplicates, and have to clean them out.
