Hello,

In my house, a previous owner finished the basement, and the interior walls 
were done with sheet metal studs (a stupid idea, in my opinion).  On the 
unfinished side of the walls there is a lot of loose NM wiring for the outlets 
and light switches which is not properly attached to anything.  So, what is the 
official, correct way to attach wiring to metal studs?  (Of course, if the 
studs were wood, I would simply use staples.)  For wire runs that have to pass 
horizontally, I have already installed plastic grommets in the holes in the 
studs, but what about the vertical runs?

Thanks,

Doug
