Hi,my company wants to have a group calendar database (completly separate from the private mailfiles). They want the employees to create appointments etc in this database. So far it’s fine. BUT they also want to have the room and resource reservation functionality when creating a meeting. Is this possible? How do I create a reservation in the reservation db from my application? How do i remove a reservation? Whats the process like? Has anyone done this before? Please help me asap!

Hi Mats
You could cerate a new Mailfile on your Domino Server and grants these User Group Editor Access…
They can create new meetings or whatever and also reserve Ressources and Rooms…
Ressource Reservation should only be created using meetings in Calenders and never directly in the Resource Reservation DB.

Hi Florian. thanx for your answer…Yes, that is a possibility that I considered (to save me a lot of work :-)). But the idea was rejected by the management. They want more funtionality (i.e the use of groups and group bookings, tons of views…you name it). Do you have an explanation why reservations have to be created using meetings in the calendar? Why cant I programatically create a reservation directly in the Reservation DB?

Maybe merge your application with the resource reservation template?
That would meet your requirement would it not?
You can have more than one resource database per server.

Hi mats…
If you directly entered a new Reservation into the Reservation DB the Server has no control to check if the Ressource or Room is already reserved.
Trough the Calender Meeting the Server will check the Ressource or room for its availability and if the Room has enough seats for all invited persons…
With the Calendar/Scheduler Task of the Server you could prevent reservation of two peoples at the same time… With direct reservation in the DB or with a Script the Calender/Scheduler Task has no control over the reservation.
i suggest you to use a new Meeting!
