  REM {tmproom :=
  @If(@Contains(tmproom;"(");@Trim(@Left(tmproom;"("));@Trim(tmpro
  om));};
  Delete as remark
  
  @If (@Text(tmproom)="1"; @Prompt([Ok]; "Error"; "You did not
  select a room");
   @Do(
                       tmproom :=
  @If(@Contains(tmproom;"(");@Trim(@Left(tmproom;"("));@Trim(tmpro
  om));   <-- Add
                       FIELD RoomList:=tmproom;
    FIELD ResourceName:=@If(ResourceType="1" &
  FindResourceStyle="2";@Name([Canonicalize];RoomList);ResourceNam
  e);
    @Command([ViewRefreshFields])))
  
  
  - Search
  
  @If(StartTime >= EndTime; @Return(@Prompt([Ok]; "Error"; "Start
  time should be
  prior to End time."));"");
  
  REM {check on Capacity and make it non required field};
  @If(@Text(Capacity) !="" & !@IsNumber(Capacity);
  @Return(@Prompt([Ok]; "Error";
  "Enter number of attendees"));"");
  tmpCapacity:=@If(@Text(Capacity) = ""; 1; Capacity);
  
  
  @Command([ViewRefreshFields]);
  
  @If((@Date(StartDate) < @Date(@Now));
  @Return(@Prompt([Ok];"Error";"You cannot
  reserve a room for a date which has already occurred."));"");
  Keyarg:="CN=*/"+"O="+Site;
  ResNameCheck:=@FindFreeResource(Keyarg;ResourceType;StartDateTim
  e;EndDateTime;tm
  pCapacity;9999;[]);
  @If(@IsError(ResNameCheck);@Return(@Prompt([Ok];"Error";"You
  received the
  following error when trying to find a room:

  FIELD tmpNoResourceFound :=@If(ResNameCheck="";"1";"0");
  
  tmpResourceName:=@If(ResNameCheck=""; "No resource/room found
