Easter in OLK2003 Missing

[Mike Vanecek]

OL2003 has US and Christian holidays loaded, but Easter and Good Friday
are not listed. How can I fix this so they are included as Holidays?

Either add them to your calendar directly or edit the Outlook.hol file and distribute it to other people.

OK, thanks. Is it fair to assume that no one has come up with a
recurrence formula for those 2 holidays so that they must be added
manually?

I checked my calendar that I updated from Outlook 2003 and it does
include Easter Day for 2004 and beyond. Maybe you should run "Add
Holidays" from Calendar Options again. Good Friday is not listed but
that should be easy to flag with Easter Day shown.

The calculation for Easter is rather complicated, not a simple recurrence. I tried to get a seminar student to explain it to me last week, and he couldn't do it.

Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the
vernal equinox (March 21), with Rome serving as the reference point. (as
the date is not the same all around the globe at any given moment)

Unless, of course, you're calculating it for an Orthodox church that uses the old calendar (which includes my seminary friend). <g>

Did that once too many times and ended up with tons of duplicates. I
have gone back and manually cleaned everything up. Got all the
recurrence holidays defined. I will just edit Easter every year and add
another year.

Yea, I went to a site referenced by slipstick and read the definition.
Sorta was thinking about it having just finished read the Di Vinci Code
(pretty interesting book).

Got everything fixed.

I read that this week, too! Found what I think are a few gotchas, but altogether very entertaining.
