Add Foreign Holidays to Your Calendars

In a previous post, I spoke about holidays and their importance for international business. If you do business with one country in particular, you should consider entering the countries holidays into your electronic calendar.

For Mac, the Apple site lists scores of free downloads which will add holidays of a particular country to your calendar. http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/

Microsoft Outlook offers a built-in feature for adding holidays from other countries to the calendar. This site provides a good overview of how to do it: http://www.slipstick.com/calendar/holidays.htm

For Lotus Notes: Domino Web Access 7.0 (iNotes) also provides a similar feature, otherwise holidays can only be added automatically by a Lotus Domino server administrator. If you are a Lotus whiz, please leave a message letting other readers know how to do this or where to go for help. Thanks!
