How to open FPNAV file?
The main problem with Microsoft FrontPage Data Format is that the FPNAV file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FPNAV 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 FPNAV 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft FrontPage is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft FrontPage in it.

Programs to open FPNAV file
Remember to download programs supporting FPNAV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft FrontPage with FPNAV files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FPNAV file to open in the Microsoft FrontPage application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FPNAV file with the Microsoft FrontPage program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft FrontPage to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft FrontPage with Microsoft FrontPage Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FPNAV 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 FPNAV file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FPNAV file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected FPNAV 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 FPNAV 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 option of recovering data from damaged FPNAV files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FPNAV 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the FPNAV 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FPNAV to close. 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.
