The APX file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the APX files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the APX file on each system platform.
What is APX file?
The file in the APX format belongs to the Database Files category. It was designed by Embarcadero Technologies. Database Files consists of 403 similar files. Borland C++ Appexpert Database Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is C++ Builder. This was created by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc..
How to open APX file?
The main problem with Borland C++ Appexpert Database Format is that the APX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that APX 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 APX 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 C++ Builder
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that C++ Builder is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name C++ Builder in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file APX with C++ Builder. Below you will find a list of applications that support APX files.
Programs to open APX file
Remember to download programs supporting APX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of C++ Builder with APX files
If, despite the installed application, the APX file does not start in the C++ Builder 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 C++ Builder application as the default for handling the APX file.
Step 3. Update C++ Builder to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the C++ Builder program, it is possible that Borland C++ Appexpert Database Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the APX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the APX file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file APX or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected APX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of APX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair APX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Embarcadero Technologies help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted APX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the APX file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the APX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file APX to close. However, some background programs may block the APX file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
