Calendars - Repeating Holidays Each Year

Is there a way to set all the holidays in one year and have them repeated for
the next "n" years?

Al,
Sure, do it manually. Unfortunately since the holidays will fall on
different days each year, there is no easy way to "copy" a template
calendar for multiple years.

An automated process could be develloped using VBA but the time
investment to write the code would be far greater than the time to
actually set the dates manually. Unless you have a very unusual company
calendar, there just aren't that many holidays each year.

Al --

This functionality is built into Microsoft Project 2007, but not any prior
versions. This feature works great for holidays that fall on a specific day
of the week, such as Thanksgiving, which falls on the fourth Thursday of
November every year. It doesn't work so great for holidays that fall on a
specific date, such as Christmas Day, which occurs on December 25 every
year. When Christmas Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, you still need to
create a holiday manually on either the Friday before or Monday after,
according to your company's way of designating the holiday. Hope this
helps.

Thanks for the quick replies - I was afraid that was going to be the answer
when my digging into "help" topics didn't uncover anything.

Have a nice Thanksgiving!
