What altenbach wants to point out in my opinioni is that CVI is not the best program to develop such an application: the best approach should be to use a database for this and there are several other programs out there that are better oriented to database treating.

Optionally you could develop the database e.g. with Access or MSSQL and interact with it in CVI by means of the SQL toolkit, but again it's not the goal CVI is aimed to.

Going even at a lower level, you could use arrays of structures to keep reservation data and develop appropriate functions to sort and filter those arrays to find out whether some time period is free or not.
