How to open DDX file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DDX 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 Alpha Five

Programs to open DDX file
Remember to download programs supporting DDX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Alpha Five with DDX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DDX file to open in the Alpha Five application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. 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 DDX file with the Alpha Five application.
Step 3. Update Alpha Five to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Alpha Five program, it is possible that Alpha Five Data Dictionary Index requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Alpha Software, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DDX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. 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 DDX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DDX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DDX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DDX file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 DDX files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Alpha Software, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DDX files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 DDX to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DDX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DDX to close. However, some background programs may block the DDX file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
