SYMPTOMS

When you try to add holidays to the calendar in Microsoft Outlook 2000, the holidays are only available through the 2002 calendar year. Holidays for 2003 and beyond are not available.
To resolve this issue, obtain and install the Outlook 2000 Add-in: Holiday Updates. To do so, visit the following Microsoft Office Update Web site:

WORKAROUND

Additional holidays are available from some third-party companies.

In the near future, Microsoft will provide an updated list of some holidays on the Microsoft Office Download site. Check this article at a later date to obtain a link to the update.
