FRT Troubleshooting

Troubles Opening FRT Files

Microsoft Visual FoxPro is Not Installed

You attempt to load your FRT file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The FRT File Extension". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Microsoft Visual FoxPro isn't installed on your PC. Your operating system cannot associate your FRT with Microsoft Visual FoxPro, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: Another FRT-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.

Outdated Microsoft Visual FoxPro

Your FoxPro Report Memo file is incompatible with Microsoft Visual FoxPro because you might have the wrong version installed. You will need to download a newer version of Microsoft Visual FoxPro if you don't have the right version. This issue mainly occurs when your FoxPro Report Memo file was created by a newer version of Microsoft Visual FoxPro than you have on your PC.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of FRT file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

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

More Causes of Problems Opening FRTs

Although you might already have Microsoft Visual FoxPro or another FRT-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening FoxPro Report Memo files.

• Accidental deletion of the description of the FRT file in the Windows registry
• Microsoft Visual FoxPro or another FRT application experienced a flawed installation
• File corruption affecting your FRT file
• Your FRT is infected with malware
• FRT-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
