How to open FNET file?
An often recurring problem with FileMaker Network is that FNET is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open FNET, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FNET 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

Programs to open FNET file
Remember to download programs supporting FNET files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FileMaker Pro with FNET files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FNET file still does not use the FileMaker Pro program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FNET file with the FileMaker Pro program.
Step 3. Update FileMaker Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the FileMaker Pro program, it is possible that FileMaker Network requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the FileMaker, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FNET file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The FNET file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FNET file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FNET file. However, remember that not every infected FNET file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FNET file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FNET files. You can restore the file from a backup or use FileMaker, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FNET 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the FNET file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the FNET file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FNET file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FNET file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
