How to open FHQ file?
The main problem with Family Historian Query Format is that the FHQ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FHQ 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 FHQ 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 Family Historian
The first step is to check if the computer has the Family Historian program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Family Historian in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support FHQ files.
Programs to open FHQ file
Remember to download programs supporting FHQ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Family Historian with FHQ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FHQ file still does not use the Family Historian 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. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FHQ file with the Family Historian program.
Step 3. Update Family Historian to the latest version
If, however, after binding Family Historian with Family Historian Query Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Calico Pie Limited website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FHQ 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to FHQ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FHQ file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected FHQ 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 FHQ files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FHQ files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file FHQ 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the FHQ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the FHQ file is blocked by the first application to open it. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
