How to open FCFE file?

An often recurring problem with Microsoft Access Encrypted Database Format is that FCFE is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file FCFE to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FCFE 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Access in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FCFE with Microsoft Access. Below is a list of programs that support the file FCFE.

Programs to open FCFE file

Remember to download programs supporting FCFE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Access with FCFE files

If, despite the installed application, the FCFE file does not start in the Microsoft Access application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Access application as the default for handling the FCFE file.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Access to the latest version

If, however, after binding Microsoft Access with Microsoft Access Encrypted Database Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FCFE file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the FCFE file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FCFE file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FCFE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FCFE file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FCFE file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FCFE 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move FCFE to a different directory.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the FCFE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
