I may be wrong but I think the OPs original post about using PIMBackup was to help anyone import the holidays you may normally be able to get to in Outlook, but without having to sync with Outlook directly. There are going to be plenty of users who don't use Outlook at all, and therefore PIMBackup is a great work around for importing these holidays...even if they did come from Outlook initially

Yes to moon phases (as long as they aren't too obtrusive) I would probably only like full and new moon phases.

Updating first post with moon phase support (full moon phases)

I will also include just new and full moons shortly.

Update: had to pull moon phases, I accidentally included contact birthdays lol.

I'm still using Outlook 03 and for the longest time, I've not been able to get Holidays on any of my PPCs. I have them ticked in Outlook but they never sync with my calender on either my Axim's or my TP2. Even in Outlook, it tells me the Holidays are added but they do not show up on the calender. Is it because it's an older version, does it stop showing holidays after a certain period of time?

Edit. I found an Update for OUtlook 03(SP3) that apparently never installed with Win Updater. I'll install it and see what happens.

Edit Edit: Worked fine. Now I'm updated until 2012. Windows Knowledge Base Link below.

Thanks for the heads up, didn't know we could do that worked great for me.

freeza, (nice name BTW; though I thought Cell saga was the best) thanks very much for this. Didn't need it, but it sure is useful.

I have a Q, does anyone know if it's possible to make the home screen display appointments, more than a day in advance? For example, it would be nice to know over the next 6 days what's coming up. With a maximum of like 2 on the home screen.

Just curious, because it'd be nice to know I have a Holiday next Monday, the Tuesday before, so I could make plans. I often forget Holidays are coming up. Thanks for the file.

lol thanks. (I agree about the cell saga) it would be awesome if that could happen. Maybe a manila edit could make it possible. However, I have no idea which file to even start with...

Hey freeza,

So I was just scrolling through my calendar to see when my next Holiday is, and I didn't see Good Friday (April 2nd). Did you miss that one, or is it me? Religious views aside, I think it's major because it's a NYSE holiday - and that's the calendar my company uses. Any chance that can be added for future years? Or is it just me and am I missing something? Thanks.

P.S. I can't believe how useful this file has become for me. I just like knowing when is my next day off, because I like to plan ahead. Thanks again!
