Downloading the tutorial files

The tutorial files are contained in a ZIP archive. After downloading the ZIP archive, you'll need to UNZIP them. This will create a folder on your computer containing all of the tutorial files.

Mac

If you use Safari to download the files, they should automatically unzip.

Otherwise, just double-click on the downloaded ZIP file.

Windows XP

Windows XP is a little wonky when it comes to unzipping ZIP archives:

  1. Click the "Download Files" link for the tutorial you wish to download.
  2. Internet Explorer and Firefox should both open a window asking if you wish to "open" or "download" the file. Choose the "open" option.
  3. A folder will open on your computer, and inside it will be another folder. This is the folder containing the tutorial files--it will have a name like DWForms or DWTables.
  4. Drag that folder to your desktop.
