MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / May 2007Chinese holiday's
Does anyone know how to add Chinese holidays to an Outlook 2003 calendar? I see a lot of different country's listed, but China. Thanks. > 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 Ching Ming Festival,2008/4/4 Ching Ming Festival,2009/4/4 Ching Ming Festival,2010/4/5 Ching Ming Festival,2011/4/5 Ching Ming Festival,2012/4/4 Chung Yeung Festival,2008/10/7 Chung Yeung Festival,2009/10/26 Chung Yeung Festival,2010/10/16 Chung Yeung Festival,2011/10/5 Chung Yeung Festival,2012/10/23 The day following the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival,2008/9/19 The day following the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival,2009/9/19 The day following the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival,2010/9/23 The day following the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival,2011/9/13 The day following the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival,2012/10/1 Then double-click the HOL file.  SignatureBrian Tillman 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.

They should be easy enough to find on the Internet. Start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_Chinese_holidays . You might also want to write to customerservice at calendar-updates.com to see if they'll create one for you (for a feee). > If you go into the > calendar options in Outlook2k3, you can choose to add other country's > holidays to your calendar.

The countries listed in the dialogue are the ones listed in brackets in the HOL file, as indicated in my example. SignatureBrian Tillman So i guess the answer is "no" then? Microsoft doesn't have those holidays as a download/add-on for Outlook? >> 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.

I can't find one at MS, but Google found this as its first hit: http://pinyinjoe.com/pinyin/chinese_festivals.htm SignatureBrian Tillman |
