Holidays from Jan. 2008 Onward Not Showing Despite SP3 Update

J

Jason H.

The subject line pretty much says it all but we've implemented SP3 here in our office and, despite the update, one of our users is still not seeing holidays in the calendar for anything beyond 12/2007. We've also tried deleting all holiday events and then re-importing but, while holidays for 2007 and previous are imported again, anything beyond that time is still absent.

I have a virtual PC setup with this user's exact same configuration (Office 2003 with SP3 on XP) and my import goes perfectly fine and I can see the holidays for 2008+. Any other suggestions? Besides for reinstalling Office? :) I'm seeing this problem listed frequently in search results but the SP3 update apparently is the solution for most.

Thanks,
- JH

Hi Jason,

Follow the steps below to see if it works.

#1 uncheck and then check the US holidays
=============
1. In Outlook 2003, click the Tools menu > Options > in the Preferences tab, click Calendar Options > click Add Holidays.
2. Uncheck United States and then check it.
3. Click OK.

What is the result? If it doesn't work, go to next step.

#2 import it from another working machine
==============
1. On the working machine, in Calendars folder, click View > Arranged By > Current View > By Category.
2. Highlight all entries in the Holidays category. And then drag them to a folder in Windows Explorer. Thus, all holidays items are stored as
*.msg files on the folder.
3. Copy the folder to the problematic machine.
4. Open Outlook 2003. Click View > Arranged By > Current View > By Category. Delete all the holidays items.
5. Move the *.msg files on that folder to the calendars folder in Outlook 2003. Thus, all the holidays items are in Outlook 2003 now.

If anything is unclear or if you have any other concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Regards,

Emily Lin

Emily,

Option #2 seems to have done the trick. Thanks...never thought of that workaround. ;)
