How to open FDATA file?
An often recurring problem with NONMEM Data Format is that FDATA is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file FDATA to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FDATA 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 NONMEM
In this case, you should first verify that the NONMEM application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing NONMEM into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FDATA with NONMEM. Below you will find a list of applications that support FDATA files.
Programs to open FDATA file
Remember to download programs supporting FDATA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NONMEM with FDATA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FDATA file to open in the NONMEM application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 FDATA file with the NONMEM application.
Step 3. Update NONMEM to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the NONMEM program, it is possible that NONMEM Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Icon website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FDATA file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FDATA file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FDATA file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FDATA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FDATA 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FDATA file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FDATA 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the FDATA file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the FDATA file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
