I built a site in VSD for our local riding club, of which I am a committee member! One of the services we provide is subsidised tuition for our members. At the moment, we have an on-line booking form (built with web form builder), but members have asked if there is a way that we can integrate some kind of appointment booking system, so that when booking, they can see if the slot they want is available or booked. It was also be very labour saving for those ladies that book these sessions.

Does anyone know of a simple(ish) solution?

Hi Janet,
I use a MySQL database program from here.

The time slot booking thing on there looks very, very useful. Do I need to be a highly skilled IT person to be able to use this? (I know you know I'm not...:D )

Hi Bruzer, i seem to have a problem. On alternate months, we have different trainers come to teach our members. One teaches four people for an hour, the other teaches 2 people for 45 minutes. I need to be able to use these timings/amounts of people on alternate months. PHPjabbers said they could make one of the changes for an extra $35, and the other for another $35. I asked them to confirm exactly what they were going to do for me before I paid all that money, and I haven't heard from them again! I don't think they want my business, so I'm back to square one. Perhaps my requirements are too specific?

Bruzer - I'm checking that out right now (that has to be one of the most neglected sites on the web :lol:).
Did you try the address in the paragraph to the left of the form?

OK, just had someone look up my site to send me a message and it came up in my email just fine - anyway... you can reach me at callie at my website name here. Did you get some sort of error message when you tried sending the form message?
