All I can say is: Wow!
I use a Julian Date frequently on mainframe and server based applications.
I'm surprised at your comment.
Not only is a Julian Date add-in a great idea for Outlook Calendar, it
should have been there 5 years ago.
Numerous print calendars have this feature today.
I'm sure you don't need to know what day Australia Day is if you live in the
US, typically, but at least you have the 'option' of adding them in.
Just because YOU don't see the 'vision', doesn't mean someone isn't already
'living' it.

Out of curiosity; how is this useful to you?
To put it a bit crude; a Julian Date is nothing more than a "big"
mathematical number counting the days passed since January 1, 4713 BC
(Greenwich noon) with a decimal which is a reference to a specific time of
the day. Other than for specific researches I cannot really come up with a
reason to have it. And I cannot really think of one to have it in a generic
calendar application as a standard option.

Anyway, since you can calculate it by a static formula, you can add such
information by creating a macro which looks at which date/time you have
selected in your calendar and then does the calculation for you.

The same is true if you actually meant that you want to see the day number
of this year.

Is there a way to show Julian dates in addition to the standard calendar
format? I looked in Vistas Regional Languages and there is nothing there
to select for this option.
