Hi

I have discovered that most teachers cannot read, so even though I have a list on the edit page of the events that already book the available slots, the staff insist in double booking.

So I need to be able to exclude dates from being selected in the datepicker.

This will vary from one record to another, depending on the events that have been booked for that pupil.

I have also found that the teachers cannot distinguish the weekend from weekdays, so I need to be able to exlude the weekends from the datepicker too.

All help gratefully accepted.

Cheers

I guess the easiest way is to build a custom page where data displayed in calendar format.

This way you can show what dates are taken or available, weekends, holidays etc.
Something like this:

That is built as a jpg picture, just a little OTT for what I want.

This is the detentions database, I have been developing it for months, it has grown to a silly size.

The staff seem incapable of reading as I have a list of the kid's detentions above the Edit Date box and they still double book.

we are talking between 1 and 5 dates in the future that are taken, surely I can find a way of getting them to READ THE EFFING PAGE?

sorry, got carried away there.

Thanks for the idea, I will keep looking
