What is CAC file?
The CAC file has been categorized as Executable Files. The creator of this file is dataBased Intelligence, Inc.. In addition to this file, the Executable Files category includes 140 related files. DBASE IV Executable is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use dBASE to handle this file. This is a program created by dataBased Intelligence, Inc..
How to open CAC file?
The main problem with DBASE IV Executable is that the CAC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CAC 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 CAC 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 dBASE
In this case, you should first verify that the dBASE application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name dBASE into the 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 CAC files.
Programs to open CAC file
Remember to download programs supporting CAC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of dBASE with CAC files
If, despite the installed application, the CAC file does not start in the dBASE 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CAC file with the dBASE application.
Step 3. Update dBASE to the latest version
If, despite the association of the dBASE program with the DBASE IV Executable file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the dataBased Intelligence, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CAC 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 CAC 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CAC file. Sometimes virus-infected CAC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CAC files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CAC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact dataBased Intelligence, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CAC 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. It is best to move CAC to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the CAC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CAC file again. However, some background programs may block the CAC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
