What is FMO file?
The FMO file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by dataBased Intelligence, Inc.. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. DBASE IV Compiled Format is most often found on 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 dBASE to handle this file. This is a program created by dataBased Intelligence, Inc..
How to open FMO file?
An often recurring problem with DBASE IV Compiled Format is that FMO is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that FMO files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FMO 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 dBASE
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that dBASE is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name dBASE in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FMO with dBASE. Below is a list of programs that support the file FMO.
Programs to open FMO file
Remember to download programs supporting FMO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of dBASE with FMO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FMO file to open in the dBASE application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the dBASE application as the default for handling the FMO file.
Step 3. Update dBASE to the latest version
If, however, after binding dBASE with DBASE IV Compiled 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 dataBased Intelligence, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FMO 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the FMO file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 FMO file. Sometimes virus-infected FMO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FMO file. 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 FMO file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact dataBased Intelligence, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FMO 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the FMO file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FMO to close. 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.
