In Outlook 2003 there is a mistake in Jewish Religious Holidays. 09/15/2007
has Fast Of Gedalia as a Jewish Religious holiday. Correct date is 09/16/2007.

Background:
Usually Fast of Gedalia is on the 3rd of Tishrei, except when 3rd of Tishrei
falls on Saturday. In that case Fast of Gedalia is on Sunday following
Saturday.

Open your outlook.hol and correct the date.

This is not a good solution. I can go as well and set all the holidays
manually in the calendar. I expect Outlook to provide correct dates for the
holidays with out me putting each holiday by hand.

Also this solution woudl not help everybody else who uses this feature. They
will still have a wrong date. Algorithm for creation of the outlook.hol
should be updated.

Sure, but intil it does, you still want a correct holiday file that you can
share with others if they have the same problem.  It's just a text file you
can edit with Notepad and then send to whomever you wish so they have the
correct as well.
