How to open MDHTML file?

The most common problem when using Microsoft Access HTML is that a specific MDHTML is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MDHTML, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MDHTML 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. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Access into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MDHTML files.

Programs to open MDHTML file

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

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Access with MDHTML files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MDHTML file to open in the Microsoft Access 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MDHTML file with the Microsoft Access program.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Access to the latest version

If, however, after binding Microsoft Access with Microsoft Access HTML 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 MDHTML file

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

The MDHTML file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MDHTML file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MDHTML file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MDHTML 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 MDHTML 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MDHTML file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MDHTML 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MDHTML to a different directory.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the MDHTML file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
