ACCFT Troubleshooting

Typical ACCFT Opening Challenges

Microsoft Access is Not Installed

Double-clicking your ACCFT file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open ACCFT File". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Access is not installed on %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your ACCFT because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your ACCFT, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").

Wrong Version of Microsoft Access is Installed

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Microsoft Access Data Type Template file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you've got the wrong version of Microsoft Access installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Most of the time your Microsoft Access Data Type Template file was created by a newer Microsoft Access than what you have installed.

Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your ACCFT file and clicking "Properties".

Primarily, problems experienced when opening ACCFT files are due to having the incorrect version of Microsoft Access installed on your computer.

More Causes of Problems Opening ACCFTs

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Microsoft Access will resolve your issue. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening ACCFTs. Problems unrelated to software:

• Mistaken removal of the Windows registry ACCFT description

• File corruption affecting your ACCFT file
• ACCFT file integrity has been compromised by malware
