MORE INFORMATION
Known issues
Known issues that may occur when you install the updates
- If you previously edited your holiday file, the updates will not replace your holiday file even if the updates are successfully installed. Therefore, to obtain the updated holiday file that is provided in the updates, you must rename your existing holiday file before you install the updates.
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.
- Exit Outlook 2003.
- Click Start, click Search, and then click All files and folders.
- In the All or part of the file name box, type Outlook.hol.
- In the Look in box, click Local Hard Drives.
- Click Search.
- 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.
