Master Holiday File
Previous  Top  Next

The following file is used by the BHT Calendar Classes for building the Holiday Queue. A TXD of the file is included with the templates and classes to import into your app for adding and changing holidays as required. Do not change the layout of the file or the class will GPF! <g>

See Holiday Types for how the fields are used.

The file is opened by the Class in Shared mode, so you can include a browse/update procedure in your app to allow the end user to modify the Holiday file as needed.
