What is JET file?
The JET file has been categorized as Database Files. In addition to this file, the Database Files category includes 403 related files. Microsoft JET Database Format is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Microsoft Access.

How to open JET file?
The main problem with Microsoft JET Database Format is that the JET file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open JET, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JET 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Access program installed. 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 JET with Microsoft Access. Below is a list of programs that support the file JET.
Programs to open JET file
Remember to download programs supporting JET files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Access with JET files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the JET file to open in the Microsoft Access application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the JET file with the Microsoft Access application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Access to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Access program with the Microsoft JET Database Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest 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 JET file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the JET file contents when downloading or copying. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file JET or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected JET 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 JET 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged JET files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JET 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 JET 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file JET to close. 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.
