Programs to open FOM file
Remember to download programs supporting FOM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of EZ-Forms with FOM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FOM file still does not use the EZ-Forms program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FOM 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 Fill Out Master 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 FOM file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the FOM 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FOM file. However, remember that not every infected FOM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FOM 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FOM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use EZ-Forms Company help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FOM files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 FOM file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
