How to download new system files

Go to File - Database Utilities - Download system files.
Select Download files from the internet and click Next. The next window will show which file(s) will be downloaded. All files shown here will be downloaded.
Click on Next to download the file(s).
Specify where you want to store the files.

The files will be stored in the location you have specified. When you click OK the program closes. The update will commence automatically if it only contains one file. If there are several files, the explorer will open the folder where you have saved the files. Install the new files by double-clicking on them. Should there be several files, you will need to run the update several times. For multi-user installations, the system administrator must log off all users and install the files on the server first, before the files are installed on each workstation.
