I have an X50v with Windows Mobile 2003SE. I am looking for a link so I can update the 2006 Calendar so it has the Holidays.
Does anyone know of a link where I download these Holidays onto my device? Thanking you in advance for you assistance.

If you are using Outlook you can add holidays

Tools>Options>Calendar Options>add holidays

Outlook only has Holidays through 2005. They do not have an update past then but Thank you for the suggestion.

I just tried that (thanks for pointing out the feature!!!) and it added the holidays out until at least 2007 (that's where I stopped checking).

What was the link you used to find this update for holiday up to 2007? Thanks for the help.

Hmmmmm....mine already has the holidays.

I'm curious if maybe the version of Outlook makes a difference as to how far out holidays are added. I'm using Outlook 2003 and have them as far out as I've checked. Maybe Outlook 2000 or XP/2002 stop after 2005?

If you can't get them in, let me know. I'll rig up a quick CSV to import into Outlook for you.

Edit: That's EXACTLY what it is. Outlook XP/2002 only has holidays through 2005. Outlook 2000 only had them through 2002. You can go to THIS WEBSITE and look at the bottom paragraph. Follow the "Outlook Holiday file - dates through 2007" link and save the file to your desktop. Double click the OUTLOOK.HOL file when it's done downloading and it'll add the holidays through 2007.

Yes, version makes a difference.

Outlook 2000 only had the holidays built in through 2002, though in late Jan. 2003, M$ released a little update that added them up through 2007.

Outlook 2002 only goes up through 2005 according the their Knowledge base. Theoretically, sometime in Jan. of next year they'll release a similar update for OL2002 that pushes the holidays through to 2009.

Dunno how far out OL2003 goes at this point. How far did you look?

Personally, I think its just another subtle way for M$ to upsell people on new versions of the app. Especially considering how many US holidays fall on a set date (like New Years day or the Fourthof July) or on a predictable pattern that once told to start adding them, Outlook could easily add for the next millenium much less the next 10 years.

Darn. I was too slow in editing my last post before there was a reply.

Scroll up 2 posts to see my last entry. The "EDIT" section shows how to fix this problem.
