I manage a small website for a regional quilting association. I would like to create a link using VSD to a data file that users can download to their own system. This file is created by Electric Quilt software and contains all the information they need to construct a specific quilt.

My link property choices do not include a downloadable file. Can I create this type of link in VSD?

Hi Kay,
You'll need to zip the file up first then link to it in VSD.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Pick the element that you want to link such as a text box or shape then select link at the top then select Document in the link properties box.
