Hi Roland,

Attach OnClientAppointmentInserting and try the following clientside code in order to prevent inserting appointment in second saturday.

JavaScript:

    
            <script type="text/javascript"> 
        
                function OnClientAppointmentInserting(sender, args) { 
        
                    var dt = new Date(); 
        
                    dt = args.get_startTime(); 
        
                    var weekNum = dt.getDay(); 
        
                    var day = dt.getDate(); 
        
                    if(day <14 && day>8 && weekNum == 6) 
        
                    { 
        
                        args.set_cancel(true); 
        
                        alert("Cannot insert");     
        
                    } 
        
                } 
        
            </script>

Thanks Shinu

An alert was one of my considerations but I would rather stop the user before they get to an alert.

The thoughts I had were:

Pre-book all users by adding an appointment in the DB on every second saturday.
- This requires altering DB scripts, and code to insert these appointments, OR, adding a "closed" appointment onLoad (if that's possible).
- If this was the only solution, can an appointment be locked, or disabled
Change the workdays onLoad
- but this would only work in week view I think
- Can you disable dates on the calendar for month view (i.e. show every second saturday as grayed out)?

Thanks!

Roland
