What is ADD file?
The ADD file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by Microsoft. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Dynamics AX Developer Documentation Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is Microsoft Dynamics AX. This was created by Microsoft Corporation.
How to open ADD file?
The most common problem when using Dynamics AX Developer Documentation Format is that a specific ADD is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ADD files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ADD 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 Microsoft Dynamics AX
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Dynamics AX is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Dynamics AX into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file ADD.
Programs to open ADD file
Remember to download programs supporting ADD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Dynamics AX with ADD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ADD file still does not use the Microsoft Dynamics AX program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 ADD file with the Microsoft Dynamics AX application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Dynamics AX to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Dynamics AX program, it is possible that Dynamics AX Developer Documentation Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ADD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to ADD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ADD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ADD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ADD files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ADD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ADD 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ADD to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ADD file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ADD file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
