The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 4W7 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 Write

Programs to open 4W7 file

Remember to download programs supporting 4W7 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of 4D Write with 4W7 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the 4W7 file to open in the 4D Write application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 4W7 file with the 4D Write application.

Step 3. Update 4D Write to the latest version

If, despite the association of the 4D Write program with the 4D Write Document file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the 4D, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 4W7 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the 4W7 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 4W7 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected 4W7 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of 4W7 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 4W7 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact 4D, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted 4W7 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. 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 4W7 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file 4W7 to close. However, some background programs may block the 4W7 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
