2.Select the check box next to 'South Africa' . You may Uncheck other Boxes
as necessary. You may add holidays of other countries by checking the box as

Sendkeys?

If you want to eliminate the need to browse the long list of countries, you
can edit the outlook.hol file in notepad and delete all of the countries
that users are unlikely to need then email the file. Users double click on
it to open the Add holiday dialog and select from the few countries that are
left on the list.

Default Code to automate Calendar options/add holidays

Hi Diane,
I am looking for automation of manual work. I dont want the
user to interfere in it. Looking for a script that will copy the
outlook.hol(this I can do it) and then select the only country that the user
want automatically by the code.

Regards,
Zamsheer

Try the programming group on this server. They would know if its possible.

Will the script select the countries for the user or will the user be
presented a dialog to select the countries? If they need to interact with
your script, I don't see the difference in the amount of effort they'll put
out- they can double click on a HOL you send them in an email (it does not
have to be in any particular folder to work) and choose the countries.

Hi Diane,
No. There will not be any selection or operation from user.
Everything should happen from backend. Could you please help me to move the
post to the appropraite group.

Zamsheer
