  2. Click Add Holidays to open the "Add Holidays to Calendar" dialog box.

  3. Click to select the appropriate country check boxes, and click OK.

NOTE: If you already added a country's holidays, it does not appear checked when you return to the "Add Holidays to Calendar" dialog box. If you try to add the same country again, you receive the following error message:
