Room Scheduler
Nov 15, 2005
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.
Thanks in advance for any help you may offer.

About 2 years agao I created a FABTASTIC database in Access that was scheduled to run each day. Since then I have move companies and now can't remember for the life of me how to create this in Microsoft Scheduler. I can get it to open Access, but not a specific .mdb and not a specific Macro
Please Help

Hi All,
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...

Hi
I currently am in the the middle of creating a database to hold details of computer hardware in stock.
I have created a query which simply lists all the items in the main table, then a form pulls the infomation from the query and displays all the items.
On the main page I have some buttons labled Room1,Room2,Room3...etc
What I am wanting to do is to press a button and it show the form but only the items from that room.
I could do this by creating many querys and then forms and having each button link to its correct form however this isn't ideal.
Does anyone know how to get the form to display only items from the query that are set by each button
Thanks
Chris

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!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I just returned from quite a long trip browsing and searching the forums, but I am unable to find anything that could help me. Some things were more or less related, but most weren't close enough.
I have a classroom and this classroom is full of computers. People can make reservations on those computers and generally do so ;-) I want to be able to get rid of the silly excel-spreadsheet I am using now to schedule these computers and people. People can come whenever they like and stay for a fixed number of hours (generally anyway ;-) ).
What I want is:
- to be able to store the people's personalia (no problem)
- to be able to assign the people to computers on certain dates and certain times (no problem)
- to check whether the people can actually use a computer (whether one is available). This is more difficult, I guess, but I think I can do this
- to be able to see 'at a glance' who is scheduled to come for today (or this week and at what time. (Let's say I want the computers in columns and the time in the rows, per half an hour). I'll try and draw a picture below this post). I have no idea whether this is humanly possible. I don't mind spending some time with it. First I would like to hear your thoughts about before I pursue this project...
So, any input about this is welcome. I am sure I must have missed some relevants posts on this forum here, so please feel free to submit any links or search queries to help me...
Also, your thoughts about this are much appreciated, especially about the overview table.
Thanks in advance!

There are some ideas floating around these forums on "booking" databases and whatnot, but I have a bit of a different twist with what I am trying to accomplish.
I am trying to develop at database that will allow users to log in and schedule their vacations. I have 2 tables at the moment tblEmployees and tblVacations. In the tblEmployees table you have:
EmployeeID (autonumber)
EmployeeName (text)
HireDate (date)
weekseligible (text)
the weekseligible field will be entered manually and be between 3 to 6 weeks of total possible vacation weeks.
The tblVacations has the following fields:
ID (autonumber)
weekofyear (date field with week starting sunday for all 52 weeks)
vacation1
vacation2
vacation3
vacation4
Only 4 people can take vacation any one week of the year. The vacation fields will be combo boxes where an employee can select their name from a query based on the employees table.
What i need to happen is to prevent someone from scheduling more weeks than their weeks eligible - I have no idea how to do this. My guess is there should be someway to do this using queries and somesort of a count function, but I am having a hard time getting started.
any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You!

Morning guys and gals
I am trying to create a sceduling calendar for my department which displays given events day by day.
I have created this using subforms for each day and a combo box to select the month.
For display purposes it works fine but I am having a little difficulty with the functionality.
I want to be able to click into any of the subforms, and depending on whether there is data within, open a specific document.
1)If there is an item in the schedule the I want to open a report filtered for that date.
2)If the day is blank then I want to open a form to input an item. (This works but I cannot get the date to pre-fill)
I have created a seperate piece of code to do this but it doesn't want to work. It may be because my knowledge of VB isn't what it was or it may be that I am completely barking up the wrong tree.
Hopefully someone can have a look and let me know where I am going wrong.
Code
Private Sub OpenCalRep(date1 As Date)
If date1 = Null Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmmaintenance", , , , acFormAdd
Forms!frmmaintenance.txtDate = Forms!frmcalsite.txtDate
Else
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptmaintenance", acViewPreview, , "Tables!tblmaintenance.txtdate" = "forms!frmcalmain.sf1.form!txtdate"
End If
End Sub
I realise that there is no counter to increment the subform name yet (SF1, SF2, etc) but I want to get the code to work for just the first box initially so I know that I'm heading in the right direction.
This code is the prefilled from the subform by using:
Private Sub SF1_Enter()
OpenCalRep (Forms!frmcalmain.SF1.Form!txtDate)
End Sub
I realise that there is no counter to increment the subform name yet (SF1, SF2, etc) but I want to get the code to work for just the first box initially so I know that I'm heading in the right direction.
Regards
Jason

Is there still a hotel/room booking system sample database available on the forum?
I remember seeing one a while back in the samples forum but can't find the thread now.
If it's not here anymore does anyone know of any samples I can look at?

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.
Thanks,
John

Just got a new Windows 7 computer and installed Office 2013. I have a report that saves itself as a pdf in a temp folder and then attaches the pdf to an email and sends it out. I use a macro to run the report and everything works fine from there. I have a VBS file that runs the macro and clicking the vbs file makes everything work fine. the code is below.
When I tried to run it though the task scheduler it show as completing fine, but it doesn't. So I added a reference the vbs in a batch file (below) and output the logs to a temp file. After I ran the batch and opened the log I seen the message
Wed 03/19/2014 14:11:17.74 Username
C:Users*****DesktopAuto Reportsaragingrecent.vbs(1, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Permission denied: 'CreateObject'
Wed 03/19/2014 14:11:17.77
I turned UAC all the way down. turn off the virus scanner, and have local and domain admin access. I'm at bit a lose here. I had this working before but can't seem to remember how I did it. This is just one example I have several other reports that were schedule to run overnight, but they basically all use the same code and processes.
Code:
'launch macro
set accessApp = CreateObject("Access.Application")
accessApp.OpenCurrentDatabase "C:Users******DesktopAuto ReportsAgedTrialBalance.mdb"
accessApp.DoCmd.RunMacro "MCRecent"
[Code] ....

I am trying to get windows server 2012 task scheduler to open my access database. When the task runs all that I see happen is the locking file will appear on my desktop and I have to go to the task manager and kill it to make it stop. I tried a .bat file to open it as well and im still getting the same thing. If I just click on the database and open it manually it runs just fine.

Without putting a /CMD parameter value in the command line, is there any way to detect in VBA that the current state of the application is that it is executing from a scheduled task ?
What's happening is that my Outlook email is failing because a Namespace Logon method cannot be invoked when there is no user logged in. I must jump over that statement when running from a scheduler.

I have an Access database that sends an email to users when there is an exception in the query. It works fine when I run it from Windows 7, but when I use task scheduler I get an error message;
Runtime error 429 activex component can't create object
and the error stops a;
Set olapp = New Outlook.Application
It only happens when i run it from Task Scheduler.

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.
Many thanks
Phil.

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

Hi,
WHen I used Windows task scheduler to start my application, and then close the application normally, the application closes but Access is left running, still visible in the task bar. The only way I can get it to close is by using task manager to kill it. I found an old KB article ( # 246953) that hints that this (or something like it) is a known bug in Access 2000 but supposedly was resolved by an Office 2000 service pack 2. But I am already running Windows XP, SP2. Anyone else having this problem? Any workarounds?

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'm currently working with a form, which is in datasheet view. I have many rows which are combo boxes (yes/no), and the name is rather long. So each line (each row) spreads on to 2-3 pages to the right.What I would like to do is make the namebar, on top of every column, a little bit higher, so the name would be split into two lines, or three. Allowing me to make the width allot smaller.Here is an example of my problem:http://213.213.137.96/~terminal/columns.jpgSo my question is, can I change the height of the column name? Or is there some trick I can use?regardsFrímann Kjerúlf
