How to open 4UG file?
The main problem with 4th Dimension Database is that the 4UG file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that 4UG files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 4UG file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install 4D SQL
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that 4D SQL is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name 4D SQL into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support 4UG files.
Programs to open 4UG file
Remember to download programs supporting 4UG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 4D SQL with 4UG files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the 4UG file to open in the 4D SQL application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 4UG file with the 4D SQL application.
Step 3. Update 4D SQL to the latest version
If, however, after binding 4D SQL with 4th Dimension Database there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the 4D, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 4UG file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 4UG file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the 4UG file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover 4UG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the 4UG files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 4UG file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use 4D, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted 4UG files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the 4UG file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the 4UG file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
