How to open K01 file?

The most common problem when using Clarion Database Key is that a specific K01 is not associated with the program. This causes the file K01 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the K01 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 Clarion

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Clarion is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Clarion into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file K01.

Programs to open K01 file

Remember to download programs supporting K01 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Clarion with K01 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the K01 file to open in the Clarion application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Clarion application as the default for handling the K01 file.

Step 3. Update Clarion to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Clarion program with the Clarion Database Key file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the SoftVelocity website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the K01 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The K01 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to K01 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file K01 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover K01 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of K01 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair K01 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use SoftVelocity help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted K01 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move K01 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the K01 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 K01 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
