Holiday Approval /tracking

Has anyone implemented a holiday workflow approval / tracking list in MOSS Sharepoint 2007?

Can anyone suggests other solutions? The solution below works fine but I am specifically looking for a way to lookup manager of the user who created the holiday request list item in the workflow.

I have followed this link http://www.u2u.info/Blogs/Kevin/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=39 which shows you how to create a custom workflow approval. Below are the steps outlined by the link.

  1. User add new holiday item to list

  2. Workflow kicks off

  3. Wf has the manager hardcoded (need a way to look this up, maybe from AD??) and creates a Task for them to review the request. If desired, this can include an email notification of the task

  4. Manager reviews, adds comments and approves/denies request

  5. User is notified of completed request

Many Thanks, Naveen

We have used a custom developed InfoPath form and a simple Approval workflow to tackle this task.
