value, I usually just use a text editor. Make sure to save a copy of your .inp
file before making any text edits, then open your .inp file in your favorite
text editor (I use Boxer, but notepad works too). You can then use
find/replace to tackle annoying edits like what you’re talking about with one
click of a button. Save your .inp file then reopen in eQUEST. If there are a
bunch of errors just save over your current .inp file with the one that you
saved as a copy earlier.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I’ve
been working in eQuest for about a month now and I just cannot figure out an
easy way to make global changes in this program. The easiest way I have figured
out how to make changes for the whole system is to go into the spreadsheet tab
and change all the numbers one by one. For instance, if I want to change my
Flow/Area on my VAVs I currently go into the spreadsheet and change each
number, or set it back to the default, which is equally as annoying, because I
just copy/paste. It looks like it should work like excel, but it
doesn’t. I figure there has to be an easier way to change these numbers(besides
going back into the wizard mode). Is there a way to enter all of my numbers at
once, or at least a better technique than I am currently using? I know
many of you have been using this program for quite a while so any advice would
be appreciated. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
