That's just it. I don't know all the holiday's, so i was hoping Microsoft
had it as a plug-in or download. If you go into the calendar options in
Outlook2k3, you can choose to add other country's holidays to your calendar.
There's lots of country's listed, but not China.

Does anyone know how to add Chinese holidays to an Outlook 2003
calendar? I see a lot of different country's listed, but China.

Sure. Create a Holiday file containing the holidays you want. It's
fairly simple. Create a file called, for example, "Chinese Holidays.hol"
and edit it with Notepad, adding the holidays in this form:

[Country] #ofholidays
Holiday 1,yyyy/mm/dd
Holiday 2,yyyy/mm/dd
..etc.

So, a start on the Chinese Holiday file might look like this:

[China] 30
Chinese New Year (1st day),2008/2/7
Chinese New Year (1st day),2009/1/26
Chinese New Year (1st day),2010/2/14
Chinese New Year (1st day),2011/2/3
Chinese New Year (1st day),2012/1/23
Chinese New Year (2nd day),2008/2/8
Chinese New Year (2nd day),2009/1/27
Chinese New Year (2nd day),2010/2/15
Chinese New Year (2nd day),2011/2/4
Chinese New Year (2nd day),2012/1/24
Chinese New Year (3rd day),2008/2/9
Chinese New Year (3rd day),2009/1/28
Chinese New Year (3rd day),2010/2/16
Chinese New Year (3rd day),2011/2/5
Chinese New Year (3rd day),2012/1/25

The day following the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival,2009/9/19
The day following the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival,2010/9/23

Then double-click the HOL file.
