Troubleshoot ADN Files


Common ADN Opening Problems

Microsoft Access Disappeared

You attempt to load your ADN file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The ADN File Extension". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Access isn't installed on your PC. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.


Tip: Another ADN-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Incorrect Microsoft Access Version

Your Access Blank Project Template file is incompatible with Microsoft Access because you might have the wrong version installed. Download the latest Microsoft Access version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Most of the time your Access Blank Project Template file was created by a newer Microsoft Access than what you have installed.


Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of ADN file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).


Conclusion: The majority of ADN file opening issues are due to not having the correct Microsoft Access version installed.


More Causes of Problems Opening ADNs

Assuming you have the right Microsoft Access version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening ADN files. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening ADN files. Problems unrelated to software:

  • ADN file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • The ADN file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the ADN format
  • Something has caused file corruption of your ADN
  • Your ADN is infected with malware
