Issues Opening ACCDW Files

Missing Microsoft Access

If you attempt to load your ACCDW file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open ACCDW Files". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Microsoft Access for %%os%% installed on your computer. You won't be able to double-click to open your ACCDW because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your ACCDW file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Wrong Version of Microsoft Access is Installed

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Microsoft Access installed that's incompatible with your Microsoft Access Link type. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Access. This issue mainly occurs when your Microsoft Access Link file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Access than you have on your PC.

Tip: Investigate your ACCDW file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening ACCDW files are due to having the wrong version of Microsoft Access installed.
