What is FODP file?

The file with the extension FODP is the Data Files file type. The author of this format is Oracle. Data Files consists of 1326 similar files. OpenDocument Flat XML Presentation is most often found on 3 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. It is recommended to use Apache OpenOffice to handle this file. This is a program created by Apache Software Foundation. There are also 6 alternative programs to handle the FODP file.

How to open FODP file?

The main problem with OpenDocument Flat XML Presentation is that the FODP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FODP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FODP 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 Apache OpenOffice

The first step is to check if the computer has the Apache OpenOffice program installed. To do this, enter the name Apache OpenOffice into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support FODP files.

Step 2. Create association of Apache OpenOffice with FODP files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FODP file still does not use the Apache OpenOffice 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FODP file with the Apache OpenOffice application.

Step 3. Update Apache OpenOffice to the latest version

If, however, after binding Apache OpenOffice with OpenDocument Flat XML Presentation there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Apache Software Foundation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FODP file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the FODP file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FODP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected FODP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FODP files changes over time. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FODP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Oracle help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FODP 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move FODP to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FODP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
