How to open FCR file?
An often recurring problem with Cost Report Data is that FCR is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open FCR, 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 FCR 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.

Programs to open FCR file
Remember to download programs supporting FCR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Electronic Cost Report for Microsoft Excel with FCR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FCR file to open in the Electronic Cost Report for Microsoft Excel 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. 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 FCR file with the Electronic Cost Report for Microsoft Excel program.
Step 3. Update Electronic Cost Report for Microsoft Excel to the latest version
If, however, after binding Electronic Cost Report for Microsoft Excel with Cost Report Data there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Michigan Department of Community Health page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FCR 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 FCR file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 FCR or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected FCR 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 FCR files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FCR file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Michigan Department of Community Health help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FCR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move FCR to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
