The RFC file is supported on 5 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the RFC files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the RFC file on each system platform.
What is RFC file?
The RFC file has been categorized as Misc Files. The author of this format is Siber Systems. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. RoboForm Contact Format appears on 5 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Android, Blackberry mobile phones and devices:, iOS, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is RoboForm for Chrome. This was created by Siber Systems, Inc.. Alternatively, you can use 10 other programs. You can use RoboForm for Firefox, RoboForm for Internet Explorer, RoboForm for Opera, RoboForm for Other Browsers in case RoboForm for Chrome cannot be used.
How to open RFC file?
The main problem with RoboForm Contact Format is that the RFC file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open RFC, 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 RFC 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 RoboForm for Chrome
The first step is to check if the computer has the RoboForm for Chrome program installed. To do this, enter the name RoboForm for Chrome into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RFC with RoboForm for Chrome. Below is a list of programs that support the file RFC.
Programs to open RFC file
Remember to download programs supporting RFC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RoboForm for Chrome with RFC files
If, despite the installed application, the RFC file does not start in the RoboForm for Chrome application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 RFC file with the RoboForm for Chrome application.
Step 3. Update RoboForm for Chrome to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the RoboForm for Chrome program, it is possible that RoboForm Contact 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 Siber Systems, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RFC file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the RFC 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RFC file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RFC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of RFC 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RFC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Siber Systems, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RFC 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move RFC to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RFC to close. However, some background programs may block the RFC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
