How to open XLR file?
An often recurring problem with Works Spreadsheet is that XLR is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open XLR, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XLR 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 Microsoft Excel
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Excel is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Excel into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open XLR file
Remember to download programs supporting XLR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Excel with XLR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XLR file to open in the Microsoft Excel 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Excel application as the default for handling the XLR file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Excel to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Excel program, it is possible that Works Spreadsheet requires a newer version of the program.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 Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XLR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 XLR file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XLR file. Sometimes virus-infected XLR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of XLR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XLR file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file XLR 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. It is best to move XLR to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XLR to close. However, some background programs may block the XLR file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
