What to Do When a .IQT File Fails to Open

Since .IQT files originate from various programs, they aren't universally openable.

  1. Identify the Source: An .IQT from a database admin often suggests an IBM Query file, while one from a sales team might belong to specialized quoting software.
  2. Check the Header: Inspect the first bytes in a text editor or hex viewer:
    • Readable SQL or plain text implies a saved database query.
    • "PK" indicates a standard ZIP-based archive.
    • Unreadable binary data suggests a compiled, proprietary format.
  3. Use the Original Software: Opening the file usually requires the original application, such as IBM Query or a specific database management tool; ask the sender if unsure.
  4. Use this Webpage: Drag and drop the file into our viewer to detect the format, extract readable text/metadata, and preview when possible.
