Having public holidays in your calendar is a very common request of clients.
Microsoft does provide a way of adding public holidays to your Outlook calendar: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/outlook/archive/2008/01/18/adding-holidays-to-your-outlook-calendar.aspx
You can then export these calendar items and then import them into a SharePoint calendar. All great and good.
But it came to my attention that Microsoft haven't quite got it right. There are a number of inaccurate holidays and missed holidays.
Adam Vero has kindly provided a fix for these dates http://blog.meteorit.co.uk/2010/09/03/outlook-2010-has-incorrect-holidays-for-uk-and-many-other-countries/
Thanks Adam.
Thanks for the mention and the link.
ReplyDeleteI still have not received an answer as to when Microsoft might get round to providing an update in a hotfix so I suspect we will have to wait for service pack 1, but luckily the fix file is reasonably easy to deploy with a startup script or similar.
