How to open BWM file?
The main problem with Blaise is that the BWM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file BWM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BWM 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 Blaise
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Blaise is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Blaise 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 BWM.
Programs to open BWM file
Remember to download programs supporting BWM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Blaise with BWM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BWM file to open in the Blaise 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. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BWM file with the Blaise application.
Step 3. Update Blaise to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Blaise program, it is possible that Blaise requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Statistics Netherlands website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BWM file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the BWM file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BWM or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BWM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of BWM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BWM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Statistics Netherlands
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BWM 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. 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 BWM file to another location.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BWM file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
