When trying to open your IFM file, you get the error "Can't Open IFM File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Shana Informed Filler isn't installed on your PC. Your operating system cannot associate your IFM with Shana Informed Filler, so double-clicking the file won't work.


Tip: When another IFM application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Outdated Shana Informed Filler

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Shana Informed Filler installed that's incompatible with your Informed Form Data Document type.
