All Exercises are saved as .zip files. You'll need WinZip or a similar program to extract files from them.

Each exercise download includes instructions in .pdf format, and data if applicable. For exercises in ArcGIS data is transferred in geodatabase format (.mdb). While .mdb files will open in MS Access, you won't be able to do anything with them in Access. Open all .mdb files either in ArcCatalog or in ArcMap by adding them to your view.
