MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / September 2007Distributing Company Events via Outlook
We use a meeting request to get company holidays and events on people's calendar. These are events that have a stop and start time--not an all day event. We're looking for an easier way to send these out en masse. I came across this site: http://www.outlookcode.com/d/forms/holiday.htm but couldn't get it to work correctly. Everything works correct up to the point where the user opens the email I send. There is no "Add Holidays" button embedded in the final email the user gets. I see the % delimited text in the body of the message but no button. Is the above solution supposed to work in Outlook 2003? I tried using HTML and Rich Text to no avail. Email editor is set to Word. Any help is appreciated. TIA.  SignatureTim As a follow up I should say I've set Security to Low but that didn't help either.

After you've created your .hol file, just double-click it. It works for me. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] The solution I referred to is not the .hol file solution. That works fine for getting holidays in that show at the top of the daily calendar. The solution I refer to inserts timed duration events into the calendar. This helps immensely because those items then show up in Free/Busy where the typical holiday does not. Thanks.

If I have time, I'll try it as well to see if I see what you see. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] I got it to work. The key was to create an Orginizational Library and publish the form there, rather than to the public folder I was using. It works like a charm. Thanks for your help.

Clearly, you solved the problem yourself without my help, and I'm glad. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
