Sources of FCX Problems

Issues Opening FCX Files

Flow Charting Not Present

When trying to open your FCX file, you get the error "Can't Open FCX File Type". Usually, this is because you do not have Flow Charting for %%os%% installed. The OS won't know what to do with your FCX file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

Tip: If you don't have Flow Charting installed, and you know of another program to open your FCX file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

Incorrect Flow Charting Version

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Flow Charting installed that's incompatible with your Flow Charting Diagram File type. If you've got the wrong version of Flow Charting installed, you'll need to install the correct version. The primary cause of this problem is that your Flow Charting Diagram File file was created by a different (newer) version of Flow Charting than what's installed.

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

Conclusion: The majority of FCX file opening issues are due to not having the correct Flow Charting version installed.
