What is K1 file?
The file in the K1 format belongs to the Misc Files category. The author of this format is The Database Managers, Inc.. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files.

The DataFlex application is recommended to open the file. It was released by The Database Managers, Inc..
How to open K1 file?
The most common problem when using DataFlex Index is that a specific K1 is not associated with the program. This causes the file K1 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the K1 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 DataFlex
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DataFlex is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name DataFlex in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file K1 with DataFlex. Below you will find a list of applications that support K1 files.
Programs to open K1 file
Remember to download programs supporting K1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DataFlex with K1 files
If, despite the installed application, the K1 file does not start in the DataFlex 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the K1 file with the DataFlex program.
Step 3. Update DataFlex to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the DataFlex program, it is possible that DataFlex Index requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the The Database Managers, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the K1 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The K1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the K1 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our K1 file. Sometimes virus-infected K1 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the K1 files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular K1 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting The Database Managers, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted K1 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the K1 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the K1 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 K1 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the K1 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
