How to open APH file?

This causes the file APH 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?

In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support APH files.

Programs to open APH file

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

Step 2. Create association of Ability Office with APH files

If, despite the installed application, the APH file does not start in the Ability Office application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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 APH file with the Ability Office application.

Step 3. Update Ability Office to the latest version

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The APH file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the APH file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the APH file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected APH 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 APH 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 APH file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Ability Plus Software
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file APH 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. Copying the APH file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the APH file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
