How to open FMPSL file?
The main problem with FileMaker Pro 12 Snapshot Link is that the FMPSL file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open FMPSL, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FMPSL 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 FileMaker Pro
In this case, you should first verify that the FileMaker Pro application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name FileMaker Pro into the 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 FMPSL files.
Programs to open FMPSL file
Remember to download programs supporting FMPSL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FileMaker Pro with FMPSL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FMPSL file still does not use the FileMaker Pro program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 FileMaker Pro application as the default for handling the FMPSL file.
Step 3. Update FileMaker Pro to the latest version
If, however, after binding FileMaker Pro with FileMaker Pro 12 Snapshot Link 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 FileMaker, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FMPSL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the FMPSL 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FMPSL file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FMPSL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FMPSL 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FMPSL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use FileMaker help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FMPSL 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. 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 FMPSL file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FMPSL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FMPSL file again. However, some background programs may block the FMPSL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
