We have a "show calendar". I did a view format with all the fields I needed
to see, like show name, location, agent, cost, etc.. This is ok, I see all
of the shows for 2006. What I need to see is also those for 2007? I did set
them as recurrent and I do not see them?

In what view are you looking at them? Is it a table view? If so,
recurrences will show but once because they're only single items. There's
not an entry for each recurrence. Outlook calculates the recurrence entries
on the fly.
 
ok, yes I am looking at them in a table view. Is there another way? I'll
tell you what I would like. We have about 100 possible shows to attend
during a year. I don't want to recreate all those shows every year... It
would need to be regenerated by itself and I need to see all the shows for
the present year and also the following year. So I would need to see in this
table: year 2006 & 2007 so I can organize everything.

Thanks

Then you'll need to make separate entries for each year exactly the way the
holidays are defined. In fact, defining them in a .hol file may be a good
way to handle it.
 
I forgot to mention that my show calendar is in the public folders. I saw
how to add holiday with "outlook.hol" but it says it is not possible to add
them directly to the public folders. I need to add them to my personal
calendar first and then copy them to the public folders! I do not want this.
These shows needs to be seen only in the show calendar in the public
folders..
Any idea?

Then your only choice is manual. Why do you object to adding them to your
default calendar and then moving (not copying) them? It'a whole lot faster
than manually entering each one. Instead of using a holiday file, you could
create another calendar folder separate from your default calendar, define
the events in a CSV file, import them into that second calendar, then move
the contents of that calendar into the public folder, deleting the second
calendar folder when finished. You're still creating them manually, but
using Excel instead of Outlook, which may be quicker since you can use
copy/paste for similar events those only difference is the date.
 
I did create a csv file and tried to import it into my second calendar but
nothing happens. Can I create a second holiday file with all the shows and
import it only into my second calendar?
Thanks

Describe the exact process you used. Did you make sure the headers
corresponded properly to the headers the import expects?

Nope. Adding holidays adds them to the default calendar. You can't control
that.
