852 File Complications

Typical 852 Opening Challenges

Microsoft Visual FoxPro Not Present

If you attempt to load your 852 file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open 852 Files". Customarily, this means that Microsoft Visual FoxPro is not installed on %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the 852 file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens 852 files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Incorrect Microsoft Visual FoxPro Version

Sometimes your installed version of Microsoft Visual FoxPro won't support your Visual FoxPro 98 Data file. Download the latest Microsoft Visual FoxPro version from the Microsoft Corporation website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Your Visual FoxPro 98 Data file was probably created by a newer release of Microsoft Visual FoxPro than what's currently installed your computer.

Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your 852 file and clicking "Properties".

Regardless, most of the 852 file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Microsoft Visual FoxPro installed.
