Looking to create an appointment calendar

[scottd431]

I am looking to creat an appointment calendar where the user can book appointments online and can choose from multiple representative. So each rep will have its own calendar. The appointments are full day appointments excet in some cases the appointment will be half day in which will allow for two appts for that day. I would like a calendar to open under the rep site and the user can choose the month that will open that months calendar and then they can see aval date and the booked dates are not allowed to be chosen. When they click on the block with the date they want then it will open their forum to book their appointment. I understand the logic and I am somewhat inexperieced with CF and know pretty much on the database side. What is the best way for me to creat this web based application and maybe one already exist to incorporate in the site. any help is appreciated. Thanks

I think there are a couple of existing apps that you should look at. At the very least, they can give you a starting point ontop of which to build your own functionality... if they aren't already exactly what you need.

First place to start is Macromedia's Developer Exchange. Go here:

http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm#loc=en_us&view=sn105&viewName=Exchange Search

and pull down the pulldown menu (where it says "All Exchanges&quot and select "ColdFusion Exchange". Then enter a search term, like "appointment", and you should get several results. Check 'em out.

You can also do a google search on something like "coldfusion appointment calendar" and you'll find a couple more (mostly commercial products).

I think you'll be a lot happier (and a lot less frustrated) if you can find something that's already built... since a calendar is something pretty common, you probably stand a good chance of doing so.
