    Hi salamex,

    Thank you, this query is very similar to my first query and it works great if the car is in "service/shop" on the same day, the problem i ran into after doing some validation is that it excludes cars that span more than one day.

    That is because the "between" join doesn't work example:

    same day : 08:00 - 13:00 (8,9,10,11,12,13)

    different day: 21:00 - 03:00 (null)

    i think i'll just need to do 2 queries but still working it out.

    A little sample data would go a long way.
