I am in the process of creating a Room Bookings database using the limited graphical tools of Access 2003.
I intend to break up the day from 0700 to 1900 into 48 X 15 minute chunks (the minimum bookable time) and have these graphically represented on the form as boxes whose colour change depending on whether it is booked and who by.
It would be normal to have up to 8 colours available for this as any one room would be unlikely to be booked by more than 8 people in one day.
I would envisage that each day would be covered by a separate subform.
Has anyone else tried a graphical representation of a booking form?
It would be interesting to hear others views or experiences...
So I'm trying to do this database for my ICT coursework and its a full system for dog kennels.
So in actuality the rooms are kennels.
I have a table tblbookings that amongst others has fields:
Kennel No Date In Date Out
I need a way of users entering the requested dates for a new booking and getting an output of a list of all kennels that are available to book for that full date range or even better, a way of running this straight from the form for a new booking frmbookings to just leave the first available kennel no. in the field KennelNo?
I have Table for rooms called Rooms, and the data in the table is roomNumber which is in the format Letter and two Digit number, so A01 would be dorm building A and room building 1, and I then have a seperate row named roomType that is either VIP or Semi Private.
Now I am creating a form where a worker will put in there scheduledCheckin date and scheduledCheckout date and it will be written to the Bookings table. I would like this form however to take the dates they have put in, as well as room type (Semi-Private or VIP, and assign them an available room that isn't booked at all in that range) or list all available rooms for that range of time and they could then just select the room. I would rather it automatically assigns an available room based on room type though because this check in system is going to have about 500 rooms.
I've attached a link for what I have so far. I know how to make a query to list anyone who has booked rooms over that date, but need one for just preventing booking the same room.
I want to build a room scheduler. Before I get too far in to my first attempts, does anyone know if there any examples out there I can use to give me ideas?
If not I wonder can anyone advise me as to a difficulty I currently can see with what my attempts so far. I have built a very basic database with fields for each room and time slots through each day. This works ok. The problem I see is finding a way of setting a room booked for say "every Thursday between 14.00 and 15:00". I have considered using a query to do it but cannot see how to formulate it.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a room scheduling example or a tutor site. I originally wanted to use Outlook but my boss, after seeing another Acces Project I did, asked for it in the Access. I can build a basic data base on a daily basis showing rooms against hours, but my problem is forward scheduling eg "every Thursday meeting room 1 will be for Group A" etc. Can anyone please get me started - I'm tearing my hair out on this one!
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, I have been reading throguh various articles and learning a lot from you guys, so thank you very much. This place is a fantastic source of information, by far the best of anything i have found online.
I have a question which i would be grateful if someone could advise upon.
Access 2003. I have 4 tables:
list_accommodation (holding host family address details who offer accommodation to students) id (autonum) name (text) address (text) etc.....
list_rooms (table of rooms offered by host families) room_id (autonum) host_id (number) - joined to list_accommodation.id room_name (text) capacity (number)
students (student contact details who want accommodation!) id (autonumber) name (text) dateofbirth (date) address (text_ etc.....
bookings_accommodation (to hold the accomm bookings) booking_id (autonum) room_id (num) - joined to list_rooms.room_id student_id (num) - joined to students.id start_date (date) end_date (date)
This structure therefore enables me to query if rooms are booked between dates:
SELECT bookings_accommodation.room_id, bookings_accommodation.start_date, bookings_accommodation.end_date FROM list_rooms INNER JOIN bookings_accommodation ON list_rooms.room_id = bookings_accommodation.room_id WHERE (((bookings_accommodation.start_date) Between DateAdd("d",0,[Forms]![workflow]![workflow_sub_add_accom_booking]![cbo_start_date]) And DateAdd("d",-1,[Forms]![workflow]![workflow_sub_add_accom_booking]![cbo_end_date]))) OR ((([end_date]-1) Between DateAdd("d",0,[Forms]![workflow]![workflow_sub_add_accom_booking]![cbo_start_date]) And DateAdd("d","0",[Forms]![workflow]![workflow_sub_add_accom_booking]![cbo_end_date]))) OR (((bookings_accommodation.start_date)<DateAdd("d",0,[Forms]![workflow]![workflow_sub_add_accom_booking]![cbo_start_date])) AND (([end_date]-1)>DateAdd("d","-1",[Forms]![workflow]![workflow_sub_add_accom_booking]![cbo_end_date])));
and therefore, using the 'booked' query i can therefore find out rooms are available.
SELECT list_rooms.room_id, list_rooms.room_name, list_rooms.capacity, list_rooms.description, list_rooms.host_id FROM list_rooms LEFT JOIN qry_rooms_reserved ON list_rooms.room_id = qry_rooms_reserved.room_id WHERE (((qry_rooms_reserved.room_id) Is Null));
----
so, now i have found out that there is a necessity to enable students to share a room (the bookings for a room may not happen at the same time). This means that i have to determine the capacity of a room and therefore if the capacity is not full, then show as available.
I was wondering what the best approach to this may be? I have added 'capacity' to list_rooms, but i am unsure as to how to go from there....
Any thoughts and advice woudl be really appreciated.
I have to create a query to calculate the Base Income per room.
Guest 1-4 is the standard room rate say $125/day, guests 5 & 6 pay additional $20 charge per day. Guests staying for seven days or more receive a 10% discount. How to build this expression into a query in access. If it was Excel that would be easier.
Table info I have is: Room Arrival Date Departure Date No of Guest (per room) Daily Rate
Please could someone give me help on this topic, I need to slove it for coursework in Access but im having the following problem.
Im creating a database for a hotel which rents out its room obviously. The problem i have is if a guest books a room for say march 3rd until march 6th, theres currently no way in which to stop another guest booking the room for any of these dates.
I think i know how to stop double booking for the start day, but not the days inbetween if you understand. The database has 3 tables: Guest Info Room info Bookings
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
P.S the method i hope to use, is the hotel will enter the start date of a guests stay and then enter the number of nights the guest is staying for e.g. 3rd-6th of march would be input as: Begin date: 03/03/08 for:'3' nights.
I have been asked to ceate a customer booking database for the computer stations and my mind has gone a complete blank. I have all my other tables but just can't think how to do it. I have 10 computers and they are booked hourly, Monday to Friday but each day finishes at a different time.
Can anyone please help I'm suppose to have it done by Monday. :eek:
Hi I have a database which uses a form to book appointments, new or existing customers are booked in this way, or not as this case may be. I have designed the form with my three options to book someone in, that are a Date, a Time and the treatment.
My date is taken from tables containing the appropriate dates for any Monday, (No Tues) another table for Weds etc until Sat for the next 4 years My Time is taken from one table containing appropriate times in the day. My Treatment is taken from a table containing a list of treatments.
How can I book an appointment without duplicating dates and times? How can I produce a list of these bookings either daily, or weekly to forward these details via Microsoft Outlook? I hope I am not asking for too much as I have been trying to do this on my own now for a while and have searched the board. I have got this far so I don't want give up now. Many Thanks Bern :confused:
I am wanting to prevent a double booking. I have a form called:
frm_Booking which records an ArrivalDate and DepartureDate
and another form
frm_Building_Booking which records a BuildingID number
I want to ensure that a customer cannot book a BuildingID for an ArrivalDate and DepartureDate it it has already been booked by another cusotmer or book any on the days between.
However a customer should be able to book a BuildingID on the DepartureDate.
For work i need to create a computer booking form so that people can book out computer rooms 2 weeks in advance and the perminant bookings are always in there etc etc... most of it i have sorted but what i want is for a query that can run and go to todays date and then only bring up the results for the next 2 weeks.
Is there anyone that could help me out with doing this because im at bit of a loss and its doing my head in :confused:
Any other comments or suggestions are welcome too if there is a better way of doing this.
could someone please help me, i am having a problem trying to get rid of double bookings in the attached database.
This database is for an assignment for my students, and unfortunately i had got the point now that i have got incredbily stupid and cannot see a solution.
I want to make sure that a client cannot double book an instructor and a car on a specific time or date...
Obviously i would also want to make sure that if one client has booked a specific car or instructor no other client would be able to book it, in the same time and date slot.. All lessons are 1 hour long
for some reason i have to make sure that a client can book a specific car... This unit is being taught alongside another unit by another teacher, who does not see the complexities of the problem, and insists that this complexity is in the database, however they do not know the solution either.
I have tried creating different types of primary key combinations, but that does not work..
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
I have been tasked with creating a system for booking instructors with clients. Customers will book in for a lesson which can be anything from 30 mins to three hours long in half hour chunks. There are up to seven instructors available and I need to be able book up to six months in advance and hopefully display a daily screen with a grid showing who is booked out with who at various time of the day. Can anyone suggest some piece of freeware or example database to get me started?
Hello everyone, if anybody could help me I'd deeply appreciate it.
Booking ID = the time when it is booked over the phone Hiring ID = the time when the event is to be held
Basically I have to make some booking dates, and use January and February 2006 as test data. My only dilemma is it says that the booking dates must not be booked more than 8 weeks before the hiring, and at least 1 week before it. So if someone wanted to the hiring for 01/01/06, then they wouldn't be able to book before 01/11/05, but before 25/12/05. Can anybody help me? Thanks. I need it so that whatever the hiring date is, the booking date has to be no more than 8 weeks in advance, but 1 week before the hiring.

No then Im creating a small website where members are capable of booking the Venue via the website. At the moment my databse consists of Members_tb with attributes
I am hoping someone from this board can help me by shedding some light as to how they would go about empowering a Member to book the venue for a particular date also taking into note not to book for a date the venue is already booked for.
Any help at all will be so much help. Im just confused as to how i should tackle this issue
Consultants need to be able to log-in when they are available and be put in rotation. Agents need to be able to select the next available Consultant. I also need there to be a waiting list. I would like to be able to run reporting on Time on Waiting List, Time with Consultant, etc.
Is there a simple way to do this? I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.
I have been asked to research and then produce a simple seat booking system for a movie showing in a small lecture theatre using MS Access. I'm a relative Access newbie and have had little luck in finding information on how to go about producing this system.
If anyone could provide or link me to anything which could be of use that would be great.
I have created a database to take bookings for holiday properties but can't figure out how to stop the properties from being booked over the same period. I have a table called booking order with the fields Booking no, property no, start date and end date. On the equivilant form for a property i need to be able to stop start and end dates being entered that are between existing start and end dates already booked for that property.
I have been trying to develop a system by which a air flight company can book seats on a plane for passengers. I am having the problem with one of the requirments though, in that I cannot figure out how to display all the seats on a flight, as well as the ones that have already been booked. This is required so that a form can be created for the user, so that they can give information back to customers on whether there is availble seats of their class type or not. I have attached the database with this thread, if anyone could be of any assistance, it would be greatly appreciated. Andi.
I am going to do an online airline reservation system, and the database is going to be done using MS Access. The database contains 4 tables: Customers, Payments (Credit Card details), Booking, Flight.

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.
