How to open FOF file?
The main problem with EZ-Forms Filled Out Form is that the FOF file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FOF 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 FOF 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 EZ-Forms
The first step is to check if the computer has the EZ-Forms program installed. To do this, enter the name EZ-Forms into the system search engine. 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 FOF files.
Programs to open FOF file
Remember to download programs supporting FOF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of EZ-Forms with FOF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FOF file to open in the EZ-Forms application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FOF file with the EZ-Forms application.
Step 3. Update EZ-Forms to the latest version
If, despite the association of the EZ-Forms program with the EZ-Forms Filled Out Form file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the EZ-Forms Company website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FOF 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 FOF file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 FOF file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FOF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FOF files changes over time. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FOF file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting EZ-Forms Company, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FOF 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. It is best to move FOF to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FOF file again. However, some background programs may block the FOF file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
