How to open K12 file?
The main problem with DataFlex Index is that the K12 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file K12 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the K12 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 K12 with DataFlex. Below you will find a list of applications that support K12 files.
Programs to open K12 file
Remember to download programs supporting K12 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DataFlex with K12 files
If, despite the installed application, the K12 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. 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 K12 file with the DataFlex application.
Step 3. Update DataFlex to the latest version
If, however, after binding DataFlex with DataFlex Index 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 The Database Managers, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the K12 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the K12 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file K12 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected K12 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the K12 file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged K12 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact The Database Managers, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted K12 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. 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 K12 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file K12 to close. However, some background programs may block the K12 file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
