Thanks for the info TTK - I am trying to develop my Tall Wall Stud & Post program for analyzing single and built-up wood members subjected to both vertical and horrizontal loading, and at various spacings. To do this, I need the option of selecting different species and grades, based on...

Cells A1 thru A5 are all labeled “SYP #1" species & grade.
Cells B1 thru B5 are labeled “2x4", “2x6", ..., “2x12"...
