Displaying holidays!

I've searched the forums for this and I just can't find what Im looking for. I use Pocketinformant with Pocketbreeze and was wondering what was the best way to display holidays on the PI calendar? Thanks if anyone can help!

You can have it automatically sync from Outlook. In Outlook, go to Tools - Options - Calendar Options - Add Holidays. The configuration might be slightly different depending on your version of Outlook.

Thanks Gigi, I tried that and for some reason they show up in 2005 but not 2006 on the Outlook 2002 calendar. Is there a way to manually enter the holidays on the PI calendar? I dont really sync with my desktop computer unless I download files or maybe for backup.

cwttlr, There is an updated holiday file available on the Microsoft site. This includes holidays up to 2012. Not all the UK holidays are there if you are UK based. You could also edit the outlook.hol file which normally lives in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\1033. This can be edited with Notepad, with the format being...

[United Kingdom] 77
Boxing Day,2006/12/26
Boxing Day,2007/12/26

The 77 above relates to lines in the individual country holiday section.
Regards, Nick. :approve:
