I take it then that the formum is the place to develop project development teams, passing excel workbooks back and forth, each adding content and commenting, until the team decides ready to commit a version to the repository.

I have old spreadsheets, "as-easy-as" and Quattro Pro format covering simple mecahnical design, others linear programming. Some are solutions to university assignments, so depositing them probably not a good idea. Translating to Excel is easy, except for the linear programming which have a different approach in QPro(DOS) and QPro(Win), those in QPro(win) similar to excel method.

I don't have much time for formatting these workbooks with XLC, currently more interested in VBA programming and controlling other programs from Excel, and otherwise writing functions. If others are interested in formatting I have no problem contributing such old stuff. I also have no problems contributing VBA function libraries. (other than copyright issues previously mentioned)

Unlike JBS however, I am not really interested in the feedback about the workbooks. If users don't like they can modify themselves. The workbooks either were or are fit for my purposes presentation wise, as appalling as they may otherwise be considered. As for errors, I guess I would like to know about them, hopefully such errors are on the conservative side, or are not in real design workbooks, just text book stuff. But as JBS and others have implied users really are responsible for the validity of the workbooks.

Neither the forum or repository should be the place to seek workbooks for areas of practice do not really understand.

Rather should probably be using the repository for guidance on validity of own attempt at creating workbook in a given area of practice. That is contribute something in the first place, ask for assistance to develop.

Some of the requests are fairly general and non-specific. What is meant by skid anchorage. Does the user want forces from the skid, or anchor bolt design? What kind of skid? There was also something about seismic or vibration, I cannot remember exactly, but it seemed a complex area of practice and fairly involved for a spreadsheet. Provide a simple excel template, or plan, illustrating what attempting to achieve and looking for.

More chance of response if contribute rather than just request.

Now we know the forum is the place to pass workbooks around to develop, maybe more activity will result.
