How to open XMLO file?

The main problem with FileMaker Pro Data Format is that the XMLO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file XMLO to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XMLO 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 FileMaker Pro

In this case, you should first verify that the FileMaker Pro application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name FileMaker Pro 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 XMLO with FileMaker Pro. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open XMLO files.

Programs to open XMLO file

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

Step 2. Create association of FileMaker Pro with XMLO files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XMLO file still does not use the FileMaker Pro program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 FileMaker Pro application as the default for handling the XMLO file.

Step 3. Update FileMaker Pro to the latest version

If, despite the association of the FileMaker Pro program with the FileMaker Pro Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the FileMaker, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XMLO 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 XMLO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to XMLO files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XMLO file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XMLO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XMLO files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XMLO file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file XMLO 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move XMLO to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file XMLO to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XMLO file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
