How to open ACCDE file?
The main problem with Access Execute Only Database is that the ACCDE file is incorrectly associated with programs.

This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ACCDE file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Microsoft Access
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Access application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Access into the operating system search engine.

Remember to download programs supporting ACCDE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Access with ACCDE files
If, despite the installed application, the ACCDE file does not start in the Microsoft Access application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ACCDE file with the Microsoft Access application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Access to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Access with Access Execute Only Database there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ACCDE file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The ACCDE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ACCDE file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ACCDE file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ACCDE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ACCDE files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ACCDE file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ACCDE files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move ACCDE to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ACCDE file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ACCDE file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
