Hi Mireillea,

Assuming you are using Project not connected to a Project Server - as far as
I know, no. If you are using Project Server, you may try posting the
question to the server newsgroup.

Using Project without server connection you could create a custom calendar
(Tools > Change Working time, new...) enter in the holidays manually and
then using Tools > Organizer, copy the custom calendar back into the
Global.mpt file. That calendar would then be available to all new projects.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

Julie

It is pretty easy using VBA code. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1165
There you will find two macros I wrote. They sort of do the opposite of what
you are trying to do - one of them exports your Project tasks to Outlook
tasks, the other retrieves status information from Outlook and updates your
Project file. If you are familiar with VBA, you should be able to use the
code in these two macros to create one that does what you want. Email me if
you have any questions.
Good luck,
Rick Williams
