How to open AHD file?
The most common problem when using Microsoft Dynamics AX On-line Help Data Format is that a specific AHD is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open AHD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AHD 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
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Dynamics AX application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Dynamics AX into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file AHD with Microsoft Dynamics AX. Below is a list of programs that support the file AHD.
Programs to open AHD file
Remember to download programs supporting AHD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Dynamics AX with AHD files
If, despite the installed application, the AHD file does not start in the Microsoft Dynamics AX application, you must create a file association. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Microsoft Dynamics AX application as the default for handling the AHD file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Dynamics AX to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Dynamics AX program with the Microsoft Dynamics AX On-line Help Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AHD file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to AHD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 AHD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected AHD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AHD file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or 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 AHD file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AHD except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. It is best to move AHD to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the AHD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AHD to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AHD file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
