How to open AMK file?
The main problem with AceMoney Backup is that the AMK file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file AMK to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AMK 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 AceMoney
In this case, you should first verify that the AceMoney application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing AceMoney 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 AMK.
Programs to open AMK file
Remember to download programs supporting AMK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AceMoney with AMK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AMK file to open in the AceMoney 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. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the AMK file with the AceMoney program.
Step 3. Update AceMoney to the latest version
If, however, after binding AceMoney with AceMoney Backup there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the MechCAD website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AMK file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The AMK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the AMK file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AMK or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AMK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AMK file. 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 AMK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use MechCAD help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AMK files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the AMK file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AMK file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AMK file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
