What is CFO file?

The file in the CFO format belongs to the Developer Files category. The author of this format is Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. Turbo C Utilities C Form Object is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The C++ Builder application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc..

How to open CFO file?

The main problem with Turbo C Utilities C Form Object is that the CFO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that CFO files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CFO 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 C++ Builder

In this case, you should first verify that the C++ Builder application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name C++ Builder into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support CFO files.

Programs to open CFO file

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

Step 2. Create association of C++ Builder with CFO files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CFO file still does not use the C++ Builder program, it means no 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CFO file with the C++ Builder program.

Step 3. Update C++ Builder to the latest version

If, despite the association of the C++ Builder program with the Turbo C Utilities C Form Object file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CFO 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to CFO files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CFO or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected CFO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of CFO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CFO file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Embarcadero Technologies, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CFO 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. It is best to move CFO to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CFO 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.
