I know that there was one floating around here a while back. I think that maybe Don posted a link to it at one point. I think that it was a Canadian goverment site if I remember correctly.

Anyways, thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

I have a great memory it's just short. Hope somebody remembers  ???.

Are you needing windspeed for different locations or pounds per square foot loading based on wind speed?

chapter 3 here might have what you need  ???

Wind loading calculations for stick framed walls. The whole "wall heights over 10ft require wind load calculations or laminant studs" thing. 10 ft framed gable wall, 6 pitch parallel cord truss system with a gable drop truss over the wall.

Great point, I will get in touch with them tommarrow. i will have to spend some time playing with that calculator to see if I can get what I need out of it. Worst case, I can run it by an  engineer, but would like to have the calculator as a reference for other future projects that are sure to require the same analysis.

Also in the codebook link above, chapter 6 (wall construction) is worth looking at if you haven't. Table 602.3.1 "Max allowable length of wall studs exposed to wind speeds of 100 mph or less"
