Known issues that may occur after you install the updates
If you renamed your old holiday file before you installed the updates, the changes that you made to the old holiday file will not be available in the new holiday file. You must modify the new file to add your custom changes to the file so that they will appear in the new holiday file.If you install the updates and still have no holidays past December 2006, the holiday file on your computer was not updated even though the updates were successfully installed.
To resolve this issue, follow these steps, and then install the updates.
Note Because there are several versions of Microsoft Windows, the following steps may be different on your computer. If they are, see your product documentation to complete these steps.
| 1. | Exit Outlook 2003. |
| 2. | Click Start, click Search, and then click All files and folders. |
| 3. | In the All or part of the file name box, type Outlook.hol. |
| 4. | In the Look in box, click Local Hard Drives. |
| 5. | Click Search. |
| 6. | Right-click the Outlook.hol file, click Rename, type Outlook.old, and then press ENTER. |
•If you made custom changes to your old holiday file, but you did not rename the holiday file before you installed the updates, you may be automatically reverted to the new holiday file. In this situation, you will lose your custom changes. This issue occurs if the following conditions are true:
| • | The old holiday file becomes corrupted. |
| • | You repair the Outlook 2003 installation. |
•If you install the updates and then add holidays to your calendar, uninstalling the updates does not remove the entries in your calendar. Instead, the version of the Outlook.hol file on the computer is reverted to the version that you had before you installed the updates.• If the holiday file is already added to the Outlook calendar, and if you add the file one more time with the new outlook.hol file, duplicate holiday entries will be created. To avoid duplicate holiday entries in your Microsoft Outlook calendar, you must remove the existing holidays list from your Outlook calendar before you update your calendar with the new outlook.hol file. To remove existing holidays from your calendar, follow these steps:
| 1. | Open your calendar. |
| 2. | On the View menu, point to Arrange By, click Current View, and then click Events. |
| 3. | Click the Location column heading to sort the list of holidays by country. |
| 4. | Click to select the first holiday that you want to delete. |
| 5. | Hold down the SHIFT key, and then select the last holiday that you want to delete. |
| 6. | Press DELETE to remove all the selected holidays from your calendar. |
