How to open FMXT file?
The main problem with FileMaker Pro Mac is that the FMXT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file FMXT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FMXT 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that FileMaker Pro is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name FileMaker Pro in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FMXT files.
Programs to open FMXT file
Remember to download programs supporting FMXT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FileMaker Pro with FMXT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FMXT file to open in the FileMaker Pro 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. 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. 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 FileMaker Pro application as the default for handling the FMXT file.
Step 3. Update FileMaker Pro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the FileMaker Pro program with the FileMaker Pro Mac file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the FileMaker, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FMXT 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. This suggests truncating the FMXT file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FMXT or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FMXT 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 FMXT file. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FMXT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting FileMaker, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FMXT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. 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 FMXT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FMXT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FMXT to close. However, some background programs may block the FMXT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
