FHC Troubleshooting

Typical FHC Opening Challenges

Canute FHC Not Present

When you double-click your FHC file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have Canute FHC for %%os%% installed. The OS won't know what to do with your FHC file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens FHC files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Canute FHC is Out-of-Date

In other instances, your FHC Data File file version may not be supported by your version of Canute FHC. Installing the latest version of Canute FHC from Canute LLP is recommended. Your FHC Data File file was probably created by a newer release of Canute FHC than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: Investigate your FHC file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening FHC files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.

Errors opening FHC Data File files can still occur even with the latest Canute FHC software installed on your computer. If you are continuing to have errors with loading FHC files, other external issues might be to blame. Other contributing causes:
