The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FH_PROJ 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 2. Create association of Family Historian with FH_PROJ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FH_PROJ file still does not use the Family Historian program, it means no association. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FH_PROJ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The FH_PROJ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to FH_PROJ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FH_PROJ file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected FH_PROJ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of FH_PROJ 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FH_PROJ files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FH_PROJ except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the FH_PROJ 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FH_PROJ file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FH_PROJ file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
