ATE Troubleshooting

Frequent ATE Opening Issues

Microsoft Office Accounting Not Present

If you attempt to load your ATE file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open ATE Files". When this happens, it is commonly due to Microsoft Office Accounting missing in %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your ATE with Microsoft Office Accounting, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: If you don't have Microsoft Office Accounting installed, and you know of another program to open your ATE file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

Wrong Version of Microsoft Office Accounting is Installed

Your Office Accounting Compressed Backup file is incompatible with Microsoft Office Accounting because you might have the wrong version installed. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Microsoft Office Accounting. Your Office Accounting Compressed Backup file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Office Accounting than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: Right-clicking on your ATE, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.

Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening ATE files are due to having the wrong version of Microsoft Office Accounting installed.
