What is FXD file?
The FXD file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by Microsoft Corporation. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. FoxPro FoxDoc Support is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Visual FoxPro. This was created by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open FXD file?
The main problem with FoxPro FoxDoc Support is that the FXD file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file FXD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FXD 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 Visual FoxPro
In this case, you should first verify that the Visual FoxPro application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Visual FoxPro 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 FXD files.
Programs to open FXD file
Remember to download programs supporting FXD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Visual FoxPro with FXD files
If, despite the installed application, the FXD file does not start in the Visual FoxPro application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 FXD file with the Visual FoxPro application.
Step 3. Update Visual FoxPro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Visual FoxPro program with the FoxPro FoxDoc Support file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FXD file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The FXD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the FXD file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FXD file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FXD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of FXD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FXD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FXD 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the FXD file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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. However, some background programs may block the FXD file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
