How to open K13 file?
The main problem with DataFlex Index is that the K13 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file K13 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 K13 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 it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open K13 files.
Programs to open K13 file
Remember to download programs supporting K13 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DataFlex with K13 files
If, despite the installed application, the K13 file does not start in the DataFlex application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the K13 file with the DataFlex program.
Step 3. Update DataFlex to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DataFlex program with the DataFlex Index file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the The Database Managers, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the K13 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to K13 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the K13 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected K13 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the K13 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair K13 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.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file K13 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move K13 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file K13 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the K13 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
