Setting maximum number of seats for an online class enrollment

[razed]

So, as the subject suggests, I need to be able to set a limit to the number of "seats" available for an online class. As it stands, it has no limit. I'm new to SharePoint, and my company isn't offering much training right now, so please be patient and bear with me.

I have a SharePoint form that I can view in SharePoint Designer. It has fields that calculate number of Filled seats and Total number of seats (when creating the class). Now, as far as the code goes, that will be a cinch. But, I'm completely new to programming with MS tools, so Sharepoint Designer and Visual Studio are confusing me.

How do I check, when the user hits submit, that the number of Filled seats is < than the maximum allowed (Total)?

If you are new to MS tools, I would stick to using SharePoint Designer to do what you require. Creating workflows with Visual Studio can get a bit hairy....

That being said, you might benefit by googling SharePoint Designer Workflows - you should be able to get a push in the right direction towards completing what you need to accomplish.

If it is an InfoPath form, you might want to look at setting the submit button to not display if the class is full.
