This was created by SFR GmbH.
How to open ANT file?
The most common problem when using CalcAnt Saved Calculation is that a specific ANT is not associated with the program. This causes the file ANT 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 ANT 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 calcAnt
In this case, you should first verify that the calcAnt application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing calcAnt into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ANT files.
Programs to open ANT file
Remember to download programs supporting ANT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of calcAnt with ANT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ANT file still does not use the calcAnt program, it means no 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ANT file with the calcAnt application.
Step 3. Update calcAnt to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the calcAnt program, it is possible that CalcAnt Saved Calculation requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SFR GmbH website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ANT 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 ANT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ANT file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ANT file. Sometimes virus-infected ANT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ANT 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ANT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use SFR GmbH help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ANT 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.
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. Copying the ANT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ANT 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 ANT to close. However, some background programs may block the ANT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
