Thanks for that suggestion!

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">Hello All,<br>
<br>
I have just bought a new computer and am running eQuest in Vista. I have
followed the instructions posted to run eQuest as if in Windows 2000.<br>
<br>
However, I'm running into an issue that is problematic: When I use the
regular explorer view to view my project files, any new documents created by
eQuest are not shown in the windows explorer. This means that I cannot
open .inp files, .pd2 files or hourly report files. When I'm in eQuest
and open a file, eQuest can see everything just fine. Any thoughts on how
to remedy this? I do need to view these file types!<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help!<br>
<br>

I would highly recommend doing all geometry in the wizard. If not you<br>
will need to create each space/zone by hand which will be incredibly<br>
tedious and unnecessary. If you are worried about the clutter of<br>
schedules, materials, etc... i would recommend deleting them in the<br>
input text file.<br>
<br>
Good luck.<br>
