Some one sent me a program via email but I can not open it . How do I open it
?
The message I get is. This file does not have an program assoicated with it
to proform this action. Please help.
 
unless you're trying to open it with MS Access relational database software,
suggest you re-post to an appropriate newsgroup.
 
It would only make sense to be asking that question in an Access
newsgroup, such as this one, if the file extension were "MDB" or
"MDE". In that case the message is telling you that there is no copy
of MSAccess.exe registered on your PC.

HTH
 
If the sender is someone you can trust then ask him / her which software is
required to open the file. Also, ask him / her whether you have to do
anything special to the file, e.g. unzip the file or rename the file to a
suitable file extension.

If you don't trust the sender or the sender is anonymous, you shouldn't even
try to open the file!

BTW, this newsgroup is for Microsoft Access (a database application) and not
general computer "access".
