Hi There

We have just upgraded to Domino 8.5.1FP3 from 6.5.5 (hooray!). One issue we had previously and is still an issue concerns people being able to double book a room.
Many of the users book their rooms via the reservation database instead of the calendar. There does not seem to be any mechanism to prevent a user entering multiple reservations for the same room at the same time or for any other users to book that same room at the same time.
If a user books a room via the calendar and you then try and book the same room & time via the reservation database, it will not allow you, which is fine. If you book via the reservation database, it marks it booked with a green tick, but you can still book the same room at the same time again or another user can as well.

Wondering if it is a known issue, or does IBM not recommend bookings directly in the reservation database?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Peter
