What is TVC file?
The TVC file has been categorized as Document Files. The author of this format is IBM. Additionally, the Document Files category contains 574 of other files. IBM Lotus 1-2-3 Table appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The Lotus 1-2-3 application is recommended to open the file. It was released by IBM.
How to open TVC file?
The most common problem when using IBM Lotus 1-2-3 Table is that a specific TVC is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open TVC, 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 TVC 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 Lotus 1-2-3
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Lotus 1-2-3 is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Lotus 1-2-3 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 TVC files.
Programs to open TVC file
Remember to download programs supporting TVC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Lotus 1-2-3 with TVC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TVC file to open in the Lotus 1-2-3 application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TVC file with the Lotus 1-2-3 program.
Step 3. Update Lotus 1-2-3 to the latest version
If, however, after binding Lotus 1-2-3 with IBM Lotus 1-2-3 Table there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the IBM website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TVC 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to TVC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 TVC file. However, remember that not every infected TVC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TVC 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TVC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact IBM
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TVC 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the TVC file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
