How to open FHT file?
An often recurring problem with Family Historian Text Scheme Format is that FHT is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file FHT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FHT 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. This can be achieved by typing Family Historian 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 FHT with Family Historian. Below is a list of programs that support the file FHT.
Programs to open FHT file
Remember to download programs supporting FHT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Family Historian with FHT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FHT file still does not use the Family Historian program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Family Historian application as the default for handling the FHT file.
Step 3. Update Family Historian to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Family Historian program with the Family Historian Text Scheme Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Calico Pie Limited website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FHT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the FHT file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FHT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected FHT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FHT 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FHT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FHT 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move FHT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FHT file again. 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.
