The FKY file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the FKY files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the FKY file on each system platform.
What is FKY file?
The file with the extension FKY is the Executable Files file type. Executable Files consists of 140 similar files. FoxPro Macro is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Visual FoxPro to handle this file. This is a program created by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open FKY file?
An often recurring problem with FoxPro Macro is that FKY is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file FKY 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 FKY 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 Visual FoxPro
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Visual FoxPro is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Visual FoxPro 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 FKY with Visual FoxPro. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FKY files.
Programs to open FKY file
Remember to download programs supporting FKY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Visual FoxPro with FKY files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FKY file to open in the Visual FoxPro 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 select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Visual FoxPro application as the default for handling the FKY file.
Step 3. Update Visual FoxPro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Visual FoxPro program with the FoxPro Macro file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FKY file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to FKY 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FKY file. Sometimes virus-infected FKY 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 FKY files changes over time. 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FKY files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FKY 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the FKY file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FKY file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FKY file again. However, some background programs may block the FKY file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
