How to restore tally which is downloaded from mail
A common issue!
When you download a Tally file from an email, it's possible that the file may become corrupted or damaged during the download process. Here are some steps to help you restore the Tally file:
Method 1: Check the file integrity
- Save the downloaded file to your computer.
- Check the file size and compare it with the original file size sent by the sender. If the file size is different, it may indicate corruption.
- Try to open the file in a text editor like Notepad or Sublime Text. If the file is corrupted, you may see garbage characters or an error message.
Method 2: Use Tally's built-in file repair tool
- Open Tally and go to File > Open and select the corrupted file.
- If Tally detects that the file is corrupted, it will prompt you to use the File Repair tool.
- Click Yes to run the file repair tool.
- Follow the prompts to repair the file.
Method 3: Use a third-party file repair tool
- Download a file repair tool like Glary Utilities or Recuva.
- Run the tool and select the corrupted Tally file.
- Follow the prompts to repair the file.
Method 4: Contact the sender
- If none of the above methods work, try contacting the sender and ask them to resend the file.
- If the sender is unable to resend the file, you may need to recreate the data from scratch or contact Tally's customer support for further assistance.
Additional tips
- Always save files to a secure location, such as an external hard drive or cloud storage service, to prevent data loss.
- Use a reliable email client or service to download files, such as Gmail or Outlook.
- Consider using a file compression tool like WinZip or 7-Zip to compress the file before sending it, which can help prevent corruption during transmission.
