Outlook 2003 Ash Wed.

Is there a way to add Ash Wednesday to the calendar as a recurring event?

I have searched Google for some time and can not see how to add just that
event.

Thanks
Bob

2003 only goes to 2007, but you can add holidays out to 2012
http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/missinghol.htm

all versions have the Christian holidays - it's just the matter of the years
supported, but the holiday update linked above will work with all versions.

In Outlook 2007 this is easy to do by adding "Christian Religious
Holidays" to your calendar. You can do this by choosing Tools + Options +
Calendar Options + Add options and then choose Christian Religious
Holidays.

I need to check to see if this applies for Outlook 2003 but I suspect that
it is the same (will verify when I can get to an Outlook 2003 config)

Since finding Easter's date (and thus Ash Wednesday's date) on the calendar
is a complicated algorithm (see
http://www.kencollins.com/holy-06.aspx#calculateeaster) and not something
that occurs on the same date each year, you cannot define it as a recurring
event in Outlook.
