How to open BCMX file?
The main problem with Business Contact Manager Customization is that the BCMX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file BCMX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BCMX 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 Outlook
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Outlook is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Outlook 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 BCMX files.
Programs to open BCMX file
Remember to download programs supporting BCMX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Outlook with BCMX files
If, despite the installed application, the BCMX file does not start in the Microsoft Outlook 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BCMX file with the Microsoft Outlook program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Outlook to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Outlook program with the Business Contact Manager Customization file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest 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 BCMX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The BCMX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the BCMX file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BCMX file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BCMX 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 BCMX 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BCMX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BCMX 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the BCMX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BCMX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BCMX file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
