How to open 850 file?
An often recurring problem with Visual Foxpro 98 is that 850 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that 850 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 850 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 Visual FoxPro
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Visual FoxPro is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Visual FoxPro into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file 850.
Programs to open 850 file
Remember to download programs supporting 850 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Visual FoxPro with 850 files
If, despite the installed application, the 850 file does not start in the Visual FoxPro 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Visual FoxPro application as the default for handling the 850 file.
Step 3. Update Visual FoxPro to the latest version
If, however, after binding Visual FoxPro with Visual Foxpro 98 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 850 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to 850 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 operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 850 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected 850 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 850 files changes over time. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular 850 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 850 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move 850 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the 850 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 850 file again. However, some background programs may block the 850 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
