You can certainly set the relevant days as non-working in the relevant
calendars. For the relatively few days that there actually are, that is
what I do. Where would you like to import them from?

I understand you can manually add them but for example in Outlook you can
just choose to Import Holidays and that includes all UK holidays. If you go
manual you would have to insert them for each year

I don't know of an easy way. I guess it is probably possible with some
of the import options, but it strikes me that the bank holidays, which
number less than 10 in any one year, can be done quicker as I describe
(personally I would prefer this greater level of control).

Sorry I can't help.

Judith -

You might consider (manually?) adding the non working days to the standard
calendar and then within Organizer (Tool>Organizer>Calendar) modify the
global.mpt file. Then, down the line you won't need to make the changes
again.

Kind Regards,
Franklin
