Database For Hotel System - Prevent Double Bookings
May 23, 2014
I am supposed to make a database for a hotel system, how I could prevent double bookings.
My Reservation Table has the following fields:
Reservation No. (PK)
Room No. (FK)
Customer ID (FK)
Payment ID(FK)
Reservation In Date
Reservation Out Date
Together with preventing double bookings is there a way automatically that can mark in the Room Table, the status as "available" or "booked" automatically by looking at the date today?
I work across a number of small venues which have art cases that can be booked for displays. I am trying to build a simple data base to report what space is available and also what art is currently being displayed. The art is usually booked by month, but sometime it can be booked for a week etc.
I have set up 3 tables
Art Inventory
Art Cases by Venue
Art Case Bookings
In the art case booking form, I have set up the start and end date but I cannot figure out how to avoid double bookings of a case? Once I have that worked out I believe I know how to build the required reports for my needs.
I have a form which allows the user to book rooms.
On this form, there are the following fields:
BookingID: (Autonumber) RoomID: Text box Time:Text Box Date: Text Box Class: Text Box Teacher: Text Box
The form adds this information to the Booking table.
What I'm looking to do is prevent the user from double booking a room,like being able to check if the Room is already booked at that time and date, before the new information is added to the table and the room becomes double booked.
Basically this would be checking the RoomID, Time and Date fields, as everything else is irrelevant. What would be the best way to do this?
On Microsoft Access 2010, I am creating a database project for a DJ booking system (not for professional use) and wondered how you can stop double booking from occurring that would provide you with an error message that I could personalize.
My current booking file looks like this:
Booking ID - Primary Key Customer ID (Linked to customer table) Venue ID (Linked to venue table) Date Booked Set Up Time Start Time Finish Time Party Type Discount Code
At the moment I have the date booked as Indexed (No Duplicates) however this gives me a long error message that I can not personalise.
I've design a form as such when i FIRST add a NEW RECORD, I want the system date to be capture into the form. I have a table calls Register. And this table has a field "DATE" which takes the value of the system date(=now). However, when i open the same record the next time, the orginal value(at the time when the record is created) of the field "DATE" will be replaced by the new system date. However, i do not want this to be happen because i want the field "DATE" to take the value of the system date when i first created the record. My question is how to prevent subsequent system date from being updated in the record whenever i open the same record? Thank you.
so i created a system to have events booked, and i am trying to check time availability of the event room available, but i dont know what wrong. it either my query or vba code. i have attached the attachment,
Hi Everyone, hope someone out there can figure this one out.
I am developing an access database and forms based on a hotel booking system. There is a tblRoomState table, which holds the roomID, the date and the state of the room, (so for a 3 night stay, this table holds three entries). I have a query which returns any roomID's from the tblRoomState table which have a state value of 1 at a specified date. I want to run another query which returns roomID's from the tblRoom table which are not part of the recordset of the first query.
Since there is no records held in the database for rooms which are not booked, the only way to access "availability" is to use a recordset of rooms which are booked and test against that.
Hi, Does anyone have any ideas on how I might prevent a database from being copied. I have an application that I have set up with a number a tools to prevent exporting to an empty Access container, and from accessing the database design via the ShiftBypass feature, but the database can still be copied in its entirety. In some situations I would like to be able to add a feature to prevent this. Any suggestions? FrankC
I created the database, which shared by multi-user. But, my user have a problem to open it. When user1 open the database, user2 cannot open it, I did not remember the error message, it is said that Admin (computer name) prevent you to open the database. But, if the user1 switch another application program (the database file is still opened), user2 can open the database, then both users can access the same database file.
If you are to sell a db. What have people done to stop one person copying it to their mates.
I have a way in which they send me their name,lastname and email. I then have a separate db that genertates a code based on a maths calculation. The users db does same calc. Then a comparison is done. if they match the code they entered goes green. if codes not right it goes red.
I also have macro that swap tables round when run. so by default its limted to 10 records. When swapped its unlimted.
I just cant link the 2 functions. Ideally some way it will see the green code and then run the macro to swap tables to a full db.
Then the customer has a full db and is also tied to their name etc...
I am designing a shipping container tracking system for my work and would like to know what the best design is for this.
There are many excel sheets that provide data on the status of containers along the supply chain i.e. shipping schedule, data from the logistics supplier showing status at the wharf, data for movements on our site etc.
Each container has a unique identifier according to what stock it carries and also a container no. designated by the shipping line. I was planning on use the first one as a primary key.
My first instinct was to have a main table that contained all of the information, with queries that updated the fields from the other data sheets.
Is there away in which I can protect an access 2007 database modification with a password.I'm doing this because I would like to prevent my client from modifying or having acces to the database's back end system (db), I would just like him to use forms and nothing else.
I have a table called tblDeliveryOverview and a table called tblPurchaseOverview in the relationship there is no link between each other but i've used a query to link the one field from tblDeliveryOverview to tblPurchaseOverview.
How can i prevent a record update from happening when i update a record in tbleDeliveryOverview and the same gets updated in tblPurchaseOverview, which i don't want to happen.
I have our primary web based inventory system that I am exporting to Excel and using this as an import to Access for the main raw data for my database. This being inventory it changes daily so I am updating this table every day. When I try to append the table it ads all the records. I am wanting an easy way to add only the new records/take out the ones that are no longer there. Basically update the table with what is currently there.The only have I have found to do this is by running non-matching queries and update queries.
hi.. i have a database stored on my main computer. all pcs on the network have windows xp.the database is stored in a shared folder.. and at the moment.. everyone on the network can open the database.. but not at the same time..basically if i have the database open.. my colleague on the pc next to me has to wait till i close it.so what i am asking is can someone direct me to a simple tutorial or some reading material..that introduces the methods needed to allow multiple pcs to access a single database with or without a login system.i imagine there will be certain read/write and locking issues.. but i really need it.thanks.
I am student, in high school, and I have to make a stock database, for ITGS, so as to receive my IB diploma.
I have created forms so as to enter stock information, and customer information, but I have no idea, as to how to connect them, so as to create an order summery and invoice. I started by creating 2 tables, one for the books, and one for the customers. I then made 2 other tables, one being an order table, and the other the linking table between the order and the books (see relation.jpg). I created a form so as to input information, but I can’t seem to get it to work, (see form.jpg)
Ideally, I would like the end-user, to select the customer's name, from a drop down list, and then for the rest of the customer information to update automatically, then, for the end-user to select a date, and finally the end-user to select books from the stock. Once the end-user has finalized the selection, they would ideally press a button, which would automatically print out an order summary/invoice (Maybe a report?)And that would also automatically reduce the quantity of the books in stock by one.
I have no idea as to how to do this and I would really need someone’s help, seeing as I have less than a week to hand this in by (The deadline is Monday 16th November 2007)
Here are the images form.jpg - http://img30.picoodle.com/img/img30/5/11/18/f_formm_78d6ea7.jpg relation.jpg - http://img03.picoodle.com/img/img03/5/11/18/f_relationm_6280f62.jpg
I have a split database. I have secured the mde sufficiently but I need to secure the back end so that no one could link to tables in it. If I introduce a password to the back end is this going to require those using front end to supply the password? If not then this could be good solution.
As the database is on the network drive, is there any other way to prevent people to link to the db? Can I hide the db in the network drive? Or should I hide tables in the BE. Should these still be available to be linked?
I have built a database and within it my queries I use for reporting make tables in a separate database. This allows me to work in my data base and update info as needed. My problem is that my make table queries wont run if anyone has one of the report pivot tables open. I have added macros to all the Excel files that pull from the reporting DB but I still have several times when I cannot update because someone is using the pivot table, Is there a way to allow me to update the report DB's while the pivot tables are open? I have tried using manual refresh methods and disabling auto update on open but the result is the same.
Twice a year, a database of mine is accessed and put too use by various staff within a time range of 1 week. the database is on a shared drive and in a location which can be accessed by all.
The staff access the database from different workstations and in some instances at the same time.
This has only led to issues in the database being copied and then confusing staff on what database to click on thus i have 2 databases which i then have to sift through and copy/paste into the correct one.
I want to know the best way i can:
1) Prevent multiple users accessing the database at a time. 2) making a copy of the original and typing into a separate database.
im making a system and part of that system is the booking of the library
2 classes can be in the library at once i want a way where if a 3rd teacher tries to book a slot then theyll be told its not available if only one class was allowed itd be easy, by using a compound key but cos 2 classes are allowed this is a bit hard for me lol trying to think of a way to allow 2 bookings but not more any ideas? thanks
I am trying to create a query that will count the number of bookings in january and a seperate count for the number of bookings in february from a table called booking order. im using the start date as the date to tell which month the booking was in. This is what i have come up with but it doesn't work and i am not to sure where to go from here. select count(jan.[booking no]), count(feb.[booking no]) from [booking order] jan, [booking order] feb where jan.[booking no].[start date] > 31/12/2006 and < 01/02/2007 and feb.[booking no].[start date] > 31/01/2007 and < 01/03/2007;
I would like to display a page that tells the user that there are no "bookings" for TODAY. It is a restaurant booking database which I have nearly completed. When there are bookings for TODAY, it shows a table with the customers booked for today (that's working ok), but if there aren't any for 'today' when I open that page, it just shows the headings of the table with no customers. I'd like to just display a message (and no table elements) when there aren't any bookings for today. Pretty confusing explanation? sorry bout that.
