Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DB6 file

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DB6 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DB6 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DB6 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DB6 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DB6 file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DB6 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the DB6 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DB6 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
