We do that here by the use of a custom outlook form. It simply adds all the holidays in the message body to the client's calendar if they don't already exist. Works like a charm. We've been using it since 1998 here.

Basically I would like the ability to insert public holidays into the system so that the end-users can see them in their personal calendar (all clients are operating in corporate mode using Outlook 2000). I know that one approach would be to manipulate the outlook.txt file for each Outlook client or to establish a public calendar folder, however I have seen this functionality achieved via another method which doesn't require the user of any third party programs (I just don't know how it is done). Is it possible that this functionality can be achieved via a "globalevent" or is there some other way of doing it. I know another way would be to send the holidays out to everyone and have them add it to their own personal calendar, but I am trying to avoid that as well. Any information would be appreciated.
