Holidaze again.

We have similar Holiday issues. First we had an app with a Holiday table. A function in our library, IsHoliday, determines if a date is a holiday or not. There is a logical recurring field for Xmas, New Years, 4th of July, etc. These only have to be entered once. Floating holidays have to entered manually. I suppose there is a rule for turkey day and other "first monday after..." but I didnt go that route.

The next step was to share the Holiday table with other apps. It makes no sense to have multiple apps each with their own (and possibly different) holiday tables.

Since our network is unstable, I'd like an app to copy the Holiday table out to NT shares, using a table to keep a list of UNC's.

Better yet is to move to table upstream, and store it on the Sybase server. This requires a bunch of red tape, so it's still a VFP table on the network.

Possible better still, would be to keep one on the internet that the whole org (or country) could use. Talk about a single point of entry.

When the news of Outlook Calendar putting thanksgiving on wrong day went around, we considered getting our holiday list from outlook. It seemed safer to keep our own.
