How to open CUF file?

An often recurring problem with Turbo C Utilities Form Definition is that CUF is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open CUF, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CUF 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 Turbo C

In this case, you should first verify that the Turbo C application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Turbo C into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file CUF.

Step 2. Create association of Turbo C with CUF files

If, despite the installed application, the CUF file does not start in the Turbo C application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 CUF file with the Turbo C application.

Step 3. Update Turbo C to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Turbo C program, it is possible that Turbo C Utilities Form Definition requires a newer version of the program.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 CUF 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the CUF file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. 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 CUF file. Sometimes virus-infected CUF 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 CUF 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CUF files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CUF 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the CUF file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 CUF file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
