IQY Files: What to Do If You Don't Have Excel Web Query or Internet Inquiry Software

Either way, if you're stuck with a IQY file you absolutely have to open, keep on reading. We'll show you how to open it, even if you don't have Excel Web Query or Internet Inquiry software installed on your system.

Opening IQY Files without Excel Web Query or Internet Inquiry

Different software packages tend to sometimes share similar file types. Excel Web Query and Internet Inquiry are some of the popular programs that use the IQY file extension, so you should be able to use any of these two to open your file. You might even be able to find others by doing a quick Google search.

A word of warning, though. Be sure to scan any free software you download with a malware checker before running it on your computer.

If You Have Excel Web Query or Internet Inquiry Installed

If one of these software packages are already installed on your PC, but it still won't work to open your IQY file, you might have to check that the file associations are correct. Right-click on the file, select "Open With..." and then select Excel Web Query or Internet Inquiry. That will create an association between the IQY file extension and your chosen software.

Your IQY Might Be Corrupt

Finally, if you're still having issues opening your IQY file, download the file again or ask the sender to resend it. It's possible that your IQY file might be corrupt. As a last resort, contact the software developers to see if they may be of further assistance.

Here's a list of IQY-related software programs and their developers:
