form.dat is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like form.dat, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like FileCoAuth.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Web Page Maker) could share the same form.dat file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DAT file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when form.dat is attempted to be loaded either when Web Page Maker is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common form.dat errors include:
Your form.dat file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Web Page Maker), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, form.dat file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Web Page Maker, system crash while loading form.dat, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your form.dat issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.
To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):
If the Step 1 fails to resolve the form.dat error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.
You can uninstall Web Page Maker software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many form.dat error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:
If Windows Update failed to resolve the form.dat error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.
If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate form.dat file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free form.dat files for every applicable version of Web Page Maker. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:
If this final step has failed and you're still encountering the error, you're only remaining option is to do a clean installation of Windows 10.
GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve form.dat problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.
CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying form.dat to your appropriate Windows system directory. Web Page Maker Software typically does not release Web Page Maker DAT files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing form.dat and all other DAT files for Web Page Maker. An incorrectly installed DAT file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
