Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Office with ODCNEWFILE files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ODCNEWFILE file still does not use the Microsoft Office 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ODCNEWFILE file with the Microsoft Office application.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Office to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Microsoft Office program with the Microsoft Office Data Connection file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ODCNEWFILE file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The ODCNEWFILE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ODCNEWFILE 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ODCNEWFILE file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ODCNEWFILE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ODCNEWFILE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ODCNEWFILE files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ODCNEWFILE 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the ODCNEWFILE file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ODCNEWFILE to close. However, some background programs may block the ODCNEWFILE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
