telecomguy9 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Hi all. I have a user whose holidays have disappeared from his calendar. This happened, he says, after the DST update a week or so ago. He has tried adding them back but that didn't work. They are just gone from his calendar. He can't see them at all. This isn't the problem where he can't see the holidays 3 or more years from now. The holidays for this year and each year thereafter have simply disappeared. I've Google'd the heck out of this and haven't found anything to help resolve the issue. Any ideas?

Gary Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I use Outlook 2007 and I just checked my calendar and all of my holidays are also gone. I don't use the calendar that much and just now noticed it. Must be one of the many MS blunders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telecomguy9 Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 It looks like it just needed a patch from MS to add the holidays for 2008-2012. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 (edited) I downloaded the patch, quit IE and Outlook, ran the patch and got told that it had already been applied. When I opened Outlook 2003 and checked the Calendar, holidays still do not appear. [edit]I went back to the webpage and read the Installation Details and found this:"Enable the holiday list in the Outlook calendarBy default, the holiday list in Outlook 2003 is not enabled. This list of holidays can only be enabled per profile because a specific country must be chosen. There is no automated method to update the calendar without requiring user intervention because the users must choose the country for which they need the list of holidays."Tools/Options/Calendar Options/Add Holidays... and choose country. Outlook installs them at that point, and when I checked the calendar, installed them correctly.Thanks for the link Edited March 20, 2008 by mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
