What is ZEM file?
The file with the extension ZEM is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by Zope Foundation. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files.

This was created by Zope Foundation.
How to open ZEM file?
The most common problem when using Zope External Editor is that a specific ZEM is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ZEM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZEM 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 Zope
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Zope is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Zope into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ZEM files.
Programs to open ZEM file
Remember to download programs supporting ZEM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Zope with ZEM files
If, despite the installed application, the ZEM file does not start in the Zope application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ZEM file with the Zope program.
Step 3. Update Zope to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Zope program, it is possible that Zope External Editor requires a newer version of the program.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 Zope Foundation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZEM 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 suggests truncating the ZEM file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ZEM or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ZEM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ZEM 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.
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 ZEM files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Zope Foundation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZEM 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 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. If possible, you can try to move the ZEM file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ZEM file again. However, some background programs may block the ZEM file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
