What is HET file?
The file in the HET format belongs to the Misc Files category. The author of this format is SYNAMETIRCS. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. WinSQL HTML Export Template is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is WinSQL. This was created by SYNAMETIRCS.
How to open HET file?
The most common problem when using WinSQL HTML Export Template is that a specific HET is not associated with the program. This causes the file HET to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HET 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 WinSQL
In this case, you should first verify that the WinSQL application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WinSQL into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file HET with WinSQL. Below is a list of programs that support the file HET.
Programs to open HET file
Remember to download programs supporting HET files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WinSQL with HET files
If, despite the installed application, the HET file does not start in the WinSQL application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the HET file with the WinSQL application.
Step 3. Update WinSQL to the latest version
If, despite the association of the WinSQL program with the WinSQL HTML Export Template file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SYNAMETIRCS website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HET 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. Usually this applies to HET files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HET file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HET files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HET file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HET files. You can restore the file from a backup or use SYNAMETIRCS help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted HET files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the HET file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HET file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
