<p>I can tell you there are hooks already available for form validation with js, I've blogged about it multiple times. The trick is getting to the list data, parsing, and searching it (quickly) for a conflict. Triggering a "return false" for submit is the easy part.

It would merely need to intercept the "OK" press on a new/edited submission, query the calendar, compare the times on the calendar, and submit or give the user a pop-up. I've not done any custom Javascript on SharePoint so I don't have a good idea of the work effort involved.

<p>We are looking at this, before we try developing something with our newly aquired Nintex Workflow licenses :) YAY

<p>That's a tough one for OOB end-user functionality. Without the template jaxkookie suggested, I think your only bet would be a custom workflow (Visual Studio not SPD) or some really fancy validation with JavaScript.</p>
<p>Exchange is still better at managing resources.

Thu, 12 Feb 2009 17:25:49 +0000dsibley@hotmail.com4182@http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/<p>We are using several instances the calendar web part to book conference rooms and projectors. Unfortunately, people are double-booking with alarming frequency and complaining about the result. Is there a way, using end-user SharePoint to prevent double-booking?
