Understanding JET Issues


Issues Opening JET Files

Missing Microsoft Access

When trying to open your JET file, you get the error "Can't Open JET File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Access isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your JET file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your JET, 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 JET Database File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Installing the latest version of Microsoft Access from Microsoft Corporation is recommended. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


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


Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening JET files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.


Other JET File Opening Causes

In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Microsoft Access will resolve your issue. If you are still having problems opening JET files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Problems unrelated to software:

  • JET file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • The JET file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Microsoft Access or another JET application experienced a flawed installation
  • JET file corruption
  • JET file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Device drivers for JET-related hardware are out-of-date
  • Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the JET Database File file
