How to open OMD file?
An often recurring problem with MapInfo Routing J Server Data is that OMD is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that OMD files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OMD 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 MapInfo
The first step is to check if the computer has the MapInfo program installed. This can be achieved by typing MapInfo into the operating 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 OMD files.
Programs to open OMD file
Remember to download programs supporting OMD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MapInfo with OMD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OMD file to open in the MapInfo application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the OMD file with the MapInfo program.
Step 3. Update MapInfo to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the MapInfo program, it is possible that MapInfo Routing J Server Data requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Pitney Bowes Software Inc. (MapInfo) page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OMD file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The OMD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the OMD file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 OMD file. Sometimes virus-infected OMD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the OMD file. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OMD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Pitney Bowes Software Inc. (MapInfo)
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted OMD 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the OMD file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the OMD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OMD to close. However, some background programs may block the OMD file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
