There several ways how to supply holidays data to the form. The most simple is to extract secondary datasource xml file from my template (here is how to do it ) add all holydays specific to your country/firm then reattach it back. You will have to do that operation yearly though.

Hi Alec,

How to customise it? Is it possible for you to provide instructions on how to do it.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Alec, I haven't seen a step by step tutorial on how to do this. If there is, then I apologize; I'll take a closer look at the blog. I remember a while back trying to open your sample files, they didn't open on my machine, so I moved on.

Guys what are you talking about? The form is able to calculate holydays. Holydays are represented in secondary datasource and because of that, solution can be easely customized to get data either from external xml file or from webservice.

And no. the reason because you haven't seen solution for Holidays on the web is a diferrent one.

The problem is that Holidays are not as easy as business days. The list of holidays is different in every country and sometimes different if you work in the government or in the private sector, for example, which means you'll probably have to come up with your own custom solution (perhaps even with code) depending on your company's internal calendar. I've never seen a solution for Holidays on the web, perhaps because of this reason.
