How to open file with .FMX extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .FMX file? Do you want to convert a .FMX file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .FMX

Full Name Developer Category
FileMaker Pro Plug-in Format N/A Plugin Files
.FMX

The FMX file extension belongs to the Filemaker Plug-in, which is a proprietary platform that allows developers to create, access, and share data from their desktop or server applications. This type of file extension is most commonly used for plugins that are designed to extend the functionality of FileMaker databases. It enables developers to add features such as custom calculations, data validation, the ability to query other web-based services, and more. FMX files contain all the necessary code, settings, and resources needed for a plugin to work properly in the FileMaker Pro environment.

Technical Details

An FMX file is usually created with a text editor such as Notepad++, and then converted to an executable program by compiling it with either an SDK (Software Development Kit) provided by FileMaker Inc. or the command line compiler in the FileMaker Pro software. These plugins can also be created with dedicated tools such as Visual Studio Code. When an executable has been built, it needs to be installed into the FileMaker Pro environment for it to start working correctly. FMX files are usually saved in a specific directory called "Extensions" alongside other plug-in files such as those with extensions FXP, FMP, and FMPL.

Programs for WINDOWS system
  • FileMaker Pro FileMaker Pro
Programs for MAC system
  • FileMaker Pro FileMaker Pro

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FMX) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .FMX extension.

When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.

Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .FMX file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .FMX extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .FMX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FMX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FMX file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.

In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .FMX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FMX file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .FMX file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .FMX file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
