How do i create a form to schedule resources?

[K. Matheussen]

I want to create a form to schedule resources like beamers, camera's. My idea
was that people that want to borrow a beamer fill in a form and that outlook
looks of this resource is available and if it is then automatically fill in
the calender and afterwards send me a email about it. I'm using office 2003.

Are you using Exchange? If so, you don't necessarily have to design a custom
form. The best approach is to create a mailbox for each resource and treat
them like regular users who have appointments. Then delegate key users to
manage the Calendars in these mailboxes. So the camera equipment manager
would book slots as they are requested in the Calendar for the "Cameras"
mailbox, for example.

Then when another user is creating an appointment in their own Calendar that
requires a resource, they would add "Cameras", "Beamers", etc. as a Resource
attendee. Outlook will automatically pull their Free/Busy information just
like any other user and indicate whether that resource is available or not
for that particular booking.

By "Beamers" do you mean BMW's? If so, cool "resource"!
