KSS Troubleshooting

Troubles Opening KSS Files

FabTrol is Not Installed

You attempt to load your KSS file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The KSS File Extension". When this happens, it is commonly due to FabTrol missing in %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your KSS with FabTrol, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your KSS file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

FabTrol is Out-of-Date

Sometimes your installed version of FabTrol won't support your FabTrol MRP Template file. Visit the FabTrol Systems website to download (or purchase) the latest version of FabTrol. This problem is predominately due to having a FabTrol MRP Template file version that was created by a newer version of FabTrol than what you have installed on your PC.

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

Conclusion: The majority of KSS file opening issues are due to not having the correct FabTrol version installed.
