FRQ File Complications

Common Problems Opening FRQ Files

BibExcel Isn't There

When you double-click your FRQ file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because BibExcel isn't installed on your PC. The typical path of opening your FRQ with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

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

Outdated BibExcel

Sometimes your installed version of BibExcel won't support your Bibexcel File file. Visit the Open Source website to download (or purchase) the latest version of BibExcel. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.

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

Summary: Not having the right BibExcel version on your computer can cause problems opening FRQ files.

More Causes of Problems Opening FRQs

Even with the correct version of BibExcel installed, you can still experience difficulties opening FRQs. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening FRQs. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

• Invalid FRQ file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
• Deletion of the FRQ file description from the Registry by mistake
• Partial installation of BibExcel that did not fully complete
• Your FRQ file is corrupted (issues with your Bibexcel File file itself)
• Malware-tainted FRQ file can't be opened
• Hardware related to FRQs has device driver corruption
• Windows cannot load your Bibexcel File file due to insufficient resources (eg. RAM)
