XCLN: How to Automatically Import Holidays into Schedule+ 7.0 [Q153769]

SUMMARY
You can import Federal-, National-, Company-, and Personal-holidays into multiple user's files automatically by creating a 'holiday schedule file' and making it available to every user by sending it to them via an attachment or a 'Hot Link' in an Email-message.

MORE INFORMATION
To create a holiday schedule file:

1. Start Schedule+, click the [File]-menu, click [Open], and then click [Archive or Project Schedule].
2. In the 'Open Archive or Project Schedule'-dialog box, type "Holidays" (without the quotation marks) in the 'File Name'-textbox and click the [Open]-button.
3. Now create appointments covering normal working hours, and enter an accurate description, of each holiday.
4. Click the [File]-menu, click [Export], click [Schedule+ Interchange], and export the information, using Holidays.sc2 as the file name.
5. Click Close on the [File]-menu.

There are two ways to make this file accessible to your users:
- As an attached file:

1. Send the Holidays.sc2 file as an attachment via a Microsoft Exchange mail message
2. In the message body, instruct them to double-click on the attachment.
3. They will be asked if they want to import the Holidays.sc2 information into their '.SCD'-file. Tell them to click the [OK]-button to import the holiday information into their appointment book.

1. Place the Holidays.sc2 file on a shared location that everyone has access
2. Create a message that includes a line similar to the following:
   file:\\<server>\<share>\Holidays.sc2
   replacing the server and share names with the correct location.
3. In the message body, instruct them to double-click on the attachment.
4. They will be asked if they want to import the Holidays.sc2 information into their '.SCD'-file. Tell them to click the [OK]-button to import the holiday information into their appointment book.
