Hi All,
I want to add holidays in my calendar in outlook and want to send it to all
my colleagues so that they can accept these holidays and it shows as “Out Of
Office” for that day.

I am based in Mumbai there are a lot of holidays which are not listed in the
default list. I know I can edit the outlook.hol file but how do I send this
to all my colleagues so that just at a click of button they would be able to
add all the holidays?

“Transmit holiday form” seems to be the only option for me but I am finding
it very difficult to understand the solution given in the link
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/forms/holiday.htm.

Please let me know of any other possible solution or a better guide to
transmit holiday form. Please help me here guys.

Many thanks
Rahul Kalwani

The holiday file is just a text file. Edit it with your favorite plain
text editor and add the holidays you want others to have, then send them
the hol file. If they also use Outlook, they can double-click the file
you send and then add the holdays to their calendar. They'll have to
add the "out of office" flag themselves.
