How to open FTMT file?

Programs to open FTMT file
Remember to download programs supporting FTMT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Family Tree Maker with FTMT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FTMT file still does not use the Family Tree Maker program, it means no association. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Family Tree Maker application as the default for handling the FTMT file.
Step 3. Update Family Tree Maker to the latest version
If, however, after binding Family Tree Maker with Family Tree Maker Chart Template there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Ancestry.com Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FTMT 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the FTMT file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FTMT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected FTMT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FTMT 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FTMT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Ancestry.com Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file FTMT except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the FTMT file to another location.
This problem usually affects 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. However, some background programs may block the FTMT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
