What is COC file?

The COC file has been categorized as Misc Files. The author of this format is Olle Persson. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. Bibexcel appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use Bibexcel to handle this file. This is a program created by Olle Persson.

How to open COC file?

The most common problem when using Bibexcel is that a specific COC is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open COC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the COC 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 Bibexcel

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Bibexcel is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Bibexcel 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 COC files.

Programs to open COC file

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

Step 2. Create association of Bibexcel with COC files

If, despite the installed application, the COC file does not start in the Bibexcel application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Bibexcel application as the default for handling the COC file.

Step 3. Update Bibexcel to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Bibexcel program with the Bibexcel file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Olle Persson website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the COC file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to COC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 COC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected COC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of COC 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular COC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Olle Persson
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted COC 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 COC to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with 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 COC file again. However, some background programs may block the COC file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
