What is HIS file?

FindinSite Database Definition Format is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.

How to open HIS file?

An often recurring problem with FindinSite Database Definition Format is that HIS is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that HIS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HIS 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 FindinSite-CD

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that FindinSite-CD is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name FindinSite-CD in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support HIS files.

Programs to open HIS file

Remember to download programs supporting HIS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of FindinSite-CD with HIS files

If, despite the installed application, the HIS file does not start in the FindinSite-CD 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 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HIS file with the FindinSite-CD program.

Step 3. Update FindinSite-CD to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the FindinSite-CD program, it is possible that FindinSite Database Definition Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HIS 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 HIS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HIS file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. 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 HIS file. However, remember that not every infected HIS 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 HIS 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HIS file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HIS 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the HIS file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the HIS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HIS file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
