No...just ours are different an fall on different days  Some are unique,a some arespecific to states whilst some are national.  Some fall on different days each year

To sit down and do them manually would be a big job.  If we could import them in it would be so much easier

Put it this way.....would yu do it for the UK holidays  or would you ask the question if someone had already done it....  I could waste a lot of time doing this but if we made a mod everyone from Australia could use it

No offence taken...appears you are in the same boat as me...Once someone has done it once I wonder how had it would be to turn into a mod.

What we need is an import process.... you set them up in a file and import to calendar.  If you had the ablity to chose the country and only import those in that countrys file.  Or better still calender had all holidays and you just filtered by country.

This has to be a good mod as if you are not from the US the calendar is not good unless you want to manually update files

The other addition we need is the ability to span holidays over a range of days  ie. school holidays
