How to open ACCTL file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft Office InfoPath Data Format is that a specific ACCTL is not associated with the program. This causes the file ACCTL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ACCTL 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 InfoPath
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft InfoPath is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft InfoPath into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file ACCTL.
Programs to open ACCTL file
Remember to download programs supporting ACCTL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft InfoPath with ACCTL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ACCTL file to open in the Microsoft InfoPath application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ACCTL file with the Microsoft InfoPath program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft InfoPath to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft InfoPath with Microsoft Office InfoPath Data Format 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 ACCTL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to ACCTL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ACCTL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ACCTL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ACCTL file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ACCTL files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ACCTL except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the ACCTL file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the ACCTL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
