Ray. Thanks for your response.
I understand your point but let me clarify my intention. I want a multi-user system to book appointments. If I understand this correctly, if the system I am developing does: 1 - check whether slot is available - free 1 - create appointment there is the opportunity for a race condition. 1 - check whether slot is available - free 2 - check whether slot is available - free 1 - create appointment 2 - create appointment Unless there's a way of limiting the number of appointments at a time in a given calendar and the calendar implements a "test and set lock" primitive I am currently unable to see how this would work for me. I would welcome your further opinion on the question I have posed. Many thanks once again for your response.
