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?
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 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?
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.
Could someone check the following code. i've set up a form for creating regular bookings, and have a field, for which you type in the frequency in days you want the bookings for. (ie, 7 days for every week on that day, 14 for every two weeks etc...) and it seems to work, however it just alters the one record, instead of creating entirely new ones. Could someone please help:
Private Sub cmdCreate_Click() Dim date2 As Date Dim period As String Dim cost2 As Currency Dim frequency2 As Integer
Do While year = actual_year
date2 = Date_For period = Time_Period cost2 = Cost frequency2 = Frequency
Date_For = date2 + frequency2 Time_Period = period Cost = cost2 Frequency = frequency2
DoCmd.Close acTable, "tblRegularBookings" Loop
End Sub
Also, one of the other problems i'm trying to solve is for those who want to create a regular booking but on say every third monday of the month for example.
I have Trainee, Staff, Course, and Booking tables and forms. Everything is working fine but I want to limit the amount of bookings per course to 50, how would I go about doing this?
I want to create a calendar to show some bookings. I have a table [tblShootDates] with some fields, the most important being [ShootDate]. I also have a [ShootDateID] which is an Autonumber and is the Primary Key. I should add that it has a Prefix "Shoot ID" 000000.
I want the calendar to show each day that a booking has taken place and the text to show is the [ShootDateID]
I have a realy serious problem that when I open msaccess (I have access 2003) and I'm trying to reach the database from my application, the application fails to get to the database. Aparently this happens because access is opened but isn't it supposed to allow multiple access to the database?
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.
stuck in the middle of a project of employee payroll the following problems are for some suggestions:
if an employee is not taken off in a week and work on sundays, he's paid double OT; if he is not taken off he's not paid; i.e. he can take 4 days off in a month
how can i keep track of this in the db; can i use a table putting 7 days as fields and make it all yes/no so that user can check or uncheck the status against each employee(!); but for whole month how can i calculate
work period start from every month on 25th and ends on 24th in next month.
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.
Hoping someone can help me with this. I have a form (one-side) with a bound continuous subform (many-side). I have a second unbound subform, also continuous, which is used as a reference only (no data entry) to select the record to be added to the bound subform. Is it possible to set it up so that, when the user double clicks on the pk from the unbound subform it adds that pk as a new record on the bound subform?
I have been searching the web for some examples of a double entry accounting systems made with MS Access. I havent found any that I can open... examine the tables, queries, relationships and everything else. Not that I am planning on spending a year or two building one :) But I want to know how to. So if anyone knows of any good examples please post the links for me. Thanks
I'm looking for someone who knows a bit about this one... maybe done one before. I've started a DB for an accounting system, I've worked with MANY of these over the years, but from a user standpoint. Now I'm trying a shot at putting one together, just for a learning experience if nothing else. But I would like someone to take a look at the beginning structure of the DB and let me know if I am on the right track. Any input and suggestions would be helpful and appreciated. Keep in mind there is ALOT not here yet... and some loose tables for future expansion. I didn't want to get too deep into it and find out I need to make a major change. I'll post the DB. Thanks Curtis
I want to lookup a list of employees (in a form) and by double clicking a name listed, have that name pasted into another form or Sub form to add details to it.
I want to select a number of employees and add info such as attending a training session, plus the topics covered, instructors name etc. I want to add this info once but relate it to a number of employees who attend the training???
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'm trying to do something really simple here but I'm getting confused with the correct syntax.
I am trying to retrieve a list of data from 1 table (tblUsers) and 2 queries (spPFApprovedThreads, spPFApprovedEntries)
From spPFApprovedThreads I would like to retrieve 'Thread' and 'CreationDate', from spPFApprovedEntries I would like to retrieve the a Count of 'EntryID' for every 'ThreadID' and from tblUsers I would like to retrieve 'Username'. Where tblUsers.UserID = spPFApprovedThreads.CreatorID and spPFApprovedEntries.ThreadID = spPFApprovedThreads.ThreadID
I have managed to do the following:
SELECT t.ThreadID, t.Thread,t.CreationDate, count(e.EntryID) FROM spPFApprovedThreads AS t INNER JOIN spPFApprovedEntries AS e ON e.ThreadID=t.ThreadID GROUP BY t.ThreadID ORDER BY t.ThreadID;
I've done double and even triple joins before, but this isn't working for me, probably because I'm using a SELECT statement instead of a table. Here's the basic (working) query:
SELECT Employee.*, NewPositionID AS [Position], NewStoreID AS [Store] FROM Employee LEFT JOIN ( [Position Change] INNER JOIN [Store Change] ON [Position Change].EmployeeID=[Store Change].EmployeeID ) ON Employee.EID=[Position Change].EmployeeID;
Now that works perfectly fine, but the problem is I only want the employee to join with the most recent position and store change. So I tried something like this:
SELECT Employee.*, NewPositionID AS [Position], NewStoreID AS [Store] FROM Employee LEFT JOIN ( (SELECT TOP 1 * FROM [Position Change] ORDER BY EffectiveDate Desc) INNER JOIN (SELECT TOP 1 * FROM [Store Change] ORDER BY EffectiveDate Desc) ON [Position Change].EmployeeID=[Store Change].EmployeeID ) ON Employee.EID=[Position Change].EmployeeID;
It tells me "Syntax error in JOIN operation" and it highlights the first occurence of "[Position Change]" (the part in bold). Using the 1st query I don't see how I can filter out the correct records.
Hello All again,I am working on a form for my database this time and I have noticed something odd that I cant figure out. I have managed to make the following form (http://members.iinet.net.au/~a.beardsley/database/1.jpg) from a Staff Table, Activities Table and a Total Expense Query, all in the one form. My problem is that I only have two entrys in the activities (http://members.iinet.net.au/~a.beardsley/database/3.jpg) but I am recieving 4 entrys in the form. 2 of witch the totals do not add. (see other 2 entrys here: http://members.iinet.net.au/~a.beardsley/database/2.jpg). Does anyone know why this would be happening?
