trigger to prevent date overlap
Hi everyone,
I am trying to write a trigger for a requirement where a new record should not be created if the dates overlap. There are 2 objects Event1 (Campaign renamed) and Attendee. There is a junction object Event Attendee which allows an attendee to register for an Event. If an attendee is already registered for an event then he/she should not be able to register for any other event which falls on those dates or whose start or end dates overlap the already registered event dates. When I execute my trigger, I get an error for every event-attendee record instead of only for those which satisfies the condition. Please help me with the trigger.
This is the trigger:
