Ah.. When viewing the tables first, that seems to work for small tables, like H1 but when I try do the same thing with a larger table, QT-P1 - I can only download one at a time when I am on the View page. I see that the trick is to select it and instead of viewing the table and then downloading it, click the "download" button and a zip file with all the counties and data will download. -----Original Message----- From: ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto:ctpp-news-bounces(a)chrispy.net] On Behalf Of Elaine.Murakami(a)dot.gov Sent: Monday, July 25, 2011 11:46 AM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: RE: [CTPP] RE: AFF2 download In AFF2, You do not need to select counties one at a time. When you select Geography, select "County" as the type of geography, and then Select "Within State" which will give you a list of each state. Then, you can have all the counties in that particular State.

I can pull up the data I need but when I try to download it I either get a broken zip file or an error. My computer environment has changed so I am trying to figure out if the problem is the website or some setting on my computer.

We had this trouble with the old AFF where the download only included what was on the screen. However, we found that it was a security setting on our IE browsers, not a problem with AFF. You might have the same issue. I'm attaching the instructions we used to fix it - you may need to check with your IT folks if they limit your access to the IE options. We are now able to download all the selected geography for tables from AFF - both old and new.
