How to open DAC file?

An often recurring problem with Dynacom Accounting Data is that DAC is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file DAC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DAC 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 Dynacom Accounting

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Dynacom Accounting is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Dynacom Accounting 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 DAC files.

Programs to open DAC file

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

Step 2. Create association of Dynacom Accounting with DAC files

If, despite the installed application, the DAC file does not start in the Dynacom Accounting 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DAC file with the Dynacom Accounting application.

Step 3. Update Dynacom Accounting to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Dynacom Accounting program with the Dynacom Accounting Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Dynacom Technologies Inc. website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to DAC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DAC or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DAC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DAC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DAC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Dynacom Technologies Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DAC 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. It is best to move DAC to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DAC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DAC file again. However, some background programs may block the DAC file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
