How to open XMTB file?
The most common problem when using FileMaker Table Format is that a specific XMTB is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open XMTB, 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 XMTB 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. This can be achieved by typing FileMaker Pro into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file XMTB with FileMaker Pro. Below is a list of programs that support the file XMTB.
Programs to open XMTB file
Remember to download programs supporting XMTB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FileMaker Pro with XMTB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XMTB file to open in the FileMaker Pro 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 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 FileMaker Pro application as the default for handling the XMTB file.
Step 3. Update FileMaker Pro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the FileMaker Pro program with the FileMaker Table Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the FileMaker, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XMTB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the XMTB file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XMTB file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected XMTB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XMTB files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged XMTB files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XMTB 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the XMTB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XMTB file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
