If you view your calendar in the By Categories view, do you see the
"Holiday" category? Are you sure you're examining your default calendar
folder?

Yes, I see the Holiday category when I'm in the By Categories view.

Now, can someone tell me how to view these holidays in my day/week/month view?

Have tried using the view/current view/by category and then trying to get a
monthly view from there.

Not working. As soon as I go to a monthly view, I see my scheduled
appointments but no holidays.

I do NOT want to use my calendar in the By Categories view. Can I view
holidays in my monthly view?

The last response did not give me useful information that I could understand.

What is the end date on the holidays in your By Category view? They will
not display in 2008 if the end date is 2007. You will need to install the
updated holiday file.

If the holidays go to 2012, then you should reset the month view.

I am having the same problem. I follow the link form the page given to the
update and it says I do not have to update.

What is a HOL?


A HOL file is a text file containing the holiday definitions. The
http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/missinghol.htm site contains link to a HOL
file containing holidays through 2012. Download that file to your PC.
Display your calendar in the By Category view and delete the existing
holidays. Then double-click the HOL file and follow the prompts to add the
holidays again.

So I've updated the holidays, but now it says that I can't use them on my
version of Outlook. I have a registered version of Microsoft Office Standard
Edition 2003 for Students and Teachers and I found no other update available
to download.

I appreciate any help with this but I admit I'm getting very weary. Please
pass on to Microsoft that this system isn't acceptable.

Use the link at the end of the page to the expanded HOL file, not the exe
Microsoft provides -

Default added holidays but can't see them. How do I get them to show u

Hi.

I've had the same problem, but I am now able to see the holidays in my
calender. Only problem is that in the overview, the days that are holidays
should also be highlighted, the same way that days where I have appointments
are highlighted. Do you know where you set this? I assumed that all entries
in the calender would make that particular day be highlighted in the
ocverview, but for some reason they are not, unless I have another
appointment on the same day as a holiday...

You mean bolded in the little calendars? Only appointments set as Busy cause
it to be bolded.
