How to open FPLIST file?

An often recurring problem with Microsoft FrontPage List Format is that FPLIST is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file FPLIST to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FPLIST 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 Microsoft FrontPage

The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft FrontPage program installed. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft FrontPage into the operating system search engine.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft FrontPage with FPLIST files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FPLIST file to open in the Microsoft FrontPage 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 select the desired program. 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 FPLIST file with the Microsoft FrontPage program.

Step 3. Update Microsoft FrontPage to the latest version

If, however, after binding Microsoft FrontPage with Microsoft FrontPage List Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FPLIST 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:

The FPLIST file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to FPLIST files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FPLIST or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected FPLIST files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FPLIST file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FPLIST file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FPLIST 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 FPLIST file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FPLIST to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FPLIST file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
