It is now coming up to the middle of January. Why are we still waiting for
Microsoft to sort this out? It is really inconvenient not knowing the public
and religious holidays for 2006. I would have expected this update to have
been available since the middle of 2005.

Did you read the message of mine that you replied to? The revised update,
which should hopefully work properly in all ways, is being worked on and is
not yet ready for release. You'll have to either wait for it or you can just
do what I did and add the holidays to your calendar manually as recurring
annual events. (I realize this doesn't work for all holidays, such as
Easter, which doesn't follow a simple pattern so each year's instance would
have to be added one by one.)

Downloading the update from the Microsoft website gives you and outlhol.exe
file and not the .txt file mentioned. Each time I've tried, it says the
holidays have been sucessfully updated, but when I add them to my calendar,
it still ends at Dec 31, 2005.

Microsoft is aware of those errors and is fixing them -- I haven't tried to
find the download but it may be missing again until the file has been revised.

There are, however, a couple of bugs: 1) Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
are added only through 2007, while other holidays are added through 2012
(such as Groundhog Day, etc). 2) Several holidays are added for 2005 even
though 2005 holidays already may be installed in Outlook 2002.
So I had to add Christmas Eve and Day manually for 2008 through 20012, and
manually delete duplicated 2005 holidays. Uninstalling holidays before
installing the patch or update would not be good because that would
uninstall holidays for years prior to 2005, and I don't want to delete those
prior year holidays.

As I wrote in another string, on a subsequent try, the link provided by
SNSSMIS worked for me.

SNSSMIS, the link you offer leads to a "The page cannot be found" error.
Does that Microsoft link work for anyone now?

I have Outlook 2002, how can I add 2006 Holidays? They stop at 2005.
