Western Area Power Administration Boring Log Form

This form is not compatible with LOGDRAFT III (our DOS drilling log program): DOS users please use SAMPLE4 instead.

To use the form:

Start by clicking on the above download link. Your browser will ask where you want to place the download: make sure that you place it into the same hard disk subdirectory that holds your LOGDRAFT program (C:\PROGRAM FILES\GEOSYS or C:\GEOSYS).
Once you've downloaded the file, double-click on your "My Computer" icon, or open the Windows Explorer.
Using Windows Explorer or the "My Computer" dialog, navigate to the hard disk directory where your LOGDRAFT program is installed: in the right-hand pane you should be able to find the file you just downloaded. Note that the file may or may not end in ".EXE"; for instance, you may see either "WAPA" or "WAPA.EXE".
Once you've found the file you downloaded, double-click on it -- this should open a DOS window and show a number of files being "extracted". If you get any messages to the effect that a certain file already exists, say "y" to the "Overwrite" message.
Start LOGDRAFT then start a new project. Choose "Project" > "Default Data Entry Form" and select WAPA as your data entry form.
When you're ready to print, press Ctrl-P (to show the report printing
dialog), select the borings you're looking to print, then click on the "Report Forms" Print Settings tab and click on the WAPA report form.

NOTE: This form is designed for B-sized paper because the client that requested the form needed this paper size. If you need a letter-sized version, please check SAMPLE4 (from LOGDRAFT press Ctrl-P, click on the "Report form" tab then click on the "Sample Forms" button): the WAPA form is almost a direct copy of the boring form shown in the US Dept. of Interior's Earth Manual and from which SAMPLE4 was copied.
