How to open AE1 file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AE1 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 FileMaker Pro

Programs to open AE1 file
Remember to download programs supporting AE1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FileMaker Pro with AE1 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AE1 file to open in the FileMaker Pro application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AE1 file with the FileMaker Pro application.
Step 3. Update FileMaker Pro to the latest version
If, however, after binding FileMaker Pro with FileMaker Pro Runtime Database there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the FileMaker, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AE1 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AE1 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AE1 file. Sometimes virus-infected AE1 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of AE1 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AE1 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact FileMaker, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AE1 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the AE1 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AE1 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AE1 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
