How to open MEPS file?
The main problem with MEPS Data Format is that the MEPS file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open MEPS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MEPS 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 MEPS
In this case, you should first verify that the MEPS application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing MEPS into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MEPS files.
Programs to open MEPS file
Remember to download programs supporting MEPS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MEPS with MEPS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MEPS file to open in the MEPS 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MEPS application as the default for handling the MEPS file.
Step 3. Update MEPS to the latest version
If, however, after binding MEPS with MEPS Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the AHRQ website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MEPS file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The MEPS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MEPS 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MEPS file. Sometimes virus-infected MEPS 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 MEPS 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MEPS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MEPS 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. It is best to move MEPS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MEPS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MEPS to close. However, some background programs may block the MEPS file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
