The most common problem when using O-Calc Pro Database Format is that a specific PPLX is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open PPLX, 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 PPLX 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 O-Calc Pro

The first step is to check if the computer has the O-Calc Pro program installed. To do this, enter the name O-Calc Pro into the system search engine.

Programs to open PPLX file

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

Step 2. Create association of O-Calc Pro with PPLX files

If, despite the installed application, the PPLX file does not start in the O-Calc Pro application, you must create a file association. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the O-Calc Pro application as the default for handling the PPLX file.

Step 3. Update O-Calc Pro to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the O-Calc Pro program, it is possible that O-Calc Pro Database Format requires a newer version of the program.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 Osmose page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PPLX 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PPLX file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. 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 PPLX file. Sometimes virus-infected PPLX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PPLX 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PPLX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PPLX files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. 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 PPLX file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PPLX file is blocked by the first application to open it. 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 PPLX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
