[Equest-users] Urgent Message

Curt,

Working under a deadline is probably not the best time to try and learn
a new software program. There are eQUEST trainings that you could sign
up for: http://doe2.com/download/eQUEST/Upcoming_eQUEST_training.pdf 

 

I cannot speak for the people who develop eQUEST, but personally I am
thrilled that a program as useful as this is available FREE (admittedly
paid for with taxpayer money, but free to anyone who wants to use it). I
can understand that the developers are working full time keeping the
program up to date. There are web support resources such as this
list-serve that help people with questions, but you have to ask a
question. 

 

If you've never used the program before, I would recommend signing up
for a training class, or finding someone locally who has used the
program before to walk you through the wizard. 

 

For your particular deadline, it might be worthwhile using a program you
are more familiar with and then switching to eQUEST when you have time
to get acquainted with it. 

 

Hope this helps. Send questions to the list if you come across stumbling
blocks.  

 

Cheers

I am under a dead line and I'm have trouble with Equest

IS there any training DVD videos of any kind for Equest?

If there where training Video's at one time there should be a back copy
or

some other source?

 

I'm sure there has to be a video somewhere!

I even tried www.youtube.com and couldn't find one thing about Equest.

I'm just a little upset that I have every little time to get this
project

done by the 9th November and no training or any Training videos.

 

Tools are only good if you know how to use them and with out any
training or

training videos, then Equest is useless to me.

I have used this Equest before but it was not a complex build like the
round

building "Kaiser medical Office" in Salem Oregon.

Every program I ever used there was some contact info or tutorials on
line.

This is a first for me and being an Energy Simulation program

I'm every surprised there is on contact number or training videos?

I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY TECH SUPPORT FOR EQUEST OR ANY CONTACT NUMBER.

I'm not to impress with Equest so far.
