How to open DXI file?

The main problem with PayWindow Database is that the DXI file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DXI, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DXI 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 Microsoft Access

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Access is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Access in it. 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 DXI.

Programs to open DXI file

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

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Access with DXI files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DXI file still does not use the Microsoft Access program, it means no 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. 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 DXI file with the Microsoft Access application.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Access to the latest version

If, however, after binding Microsoft Access with PayWindow Database there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DXI 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:

The DXI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DXI file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DXI file. Sometimes virus-infected DXI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DXI file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DXI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ZPAY Payroll Systems, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DXI 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. It is best to move DXI to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DXI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DXI file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
