How to open PJX file?

The most common problem when using FoxPro Project is that a specific PJX is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open PJX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PJX 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

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Visual FoxPro is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Visual FoxPro into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PJX with Visual FoxPro. Below you will find a list of applications that support PJX files.

Programs to open PJX file

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

Step 2. Create association of Visual FoxPro with PJX files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PJX file to open in the Visual FoxPro application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PJX file with the Visual FoxPro application.

Step 3. Update Visual FoxPro to the latest version

If, however, after binding Visual FoxPro with FoxPro Project there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PJX 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PJX file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 PJX file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PJX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PJX file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PJX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PJX 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the PJX 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the PJX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
