Using all day event for holiday recording

We have set up a holiday calendar and are using the all day event facility to
record employee holidays. This works very well as we can colour code
departments and have the information available to anyone on the network.
However, if more than 15 people are on holiday on a particular day, Outlook
seems incapable of showing them! Is there any way of increasing the size of
the 'all day event' panel OR is there a more practical way of recording
holidays?

Showing them where?  In an Outlook Calendar view?  Which view?  Is there a
symbol that looks like a small "v" with dots after it at the bottom of the
events you can see?  If you click that symbol, can you see more?

I don't know of any "all day event panel".  You have the "Day/Week/Month"
views, the "Active Appointmtnent" view, the "Events" view, and so on.  Which
view?

Since posting this question I have searched for similar posts and notice
that other people have experienced the same problem, it seems to be a
limitation of Outlook or maybe I'm just not using it for a purpose for which
it was intended.

I think you're correct on this.  As far as I can tell, you cannot change the
size of the all-day-event area at the top of the views except, maybe, by
increasing your screen resolution.
