How to open FMD file?
The main problem with Microsoft Access is that the FMD file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open FMD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FMD 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 Microsoft Access
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Access is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Access into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support FMD files.
Programs to open FMD file
Remember to download programs supporting FMD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Access with FMD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FMD file to open in the Microsoft Access application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 Microsoft Access application as the default for handling the FMD file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Access to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Access with Microsoft Access there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FMD 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 FMD file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FMD file. Sometimes virus-infected FMD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FMD file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FMD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FMD 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the FMD file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Closing other programs should help. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
