SiteManager Material Test Files Update
Below is a list of SiteManager material test files recently distributed over the weekend statewide to your local apps drives and the TxDOT website (though the webpage dates have not yet been updated the files are the latest files). This is just a formal announcement of their distribution. These files have been in service with SiteManager for some months and test calculation should not be affected by this distribution.
Your local application drive mapping to view these files is x:\SMGR\SM3x\MSEXCELTEMPLATES. Please contact me if you fail to see these updated files listed in your directory.
It should be noted that included with this distribution is the much belated fix for the ‘failed to open Excel on the first click’ bug. Once distributed, users will no longer have to click the Excel option twice to view a test result while working on the test tab of the sample information window.
