How to open K14 file?
The main problem with DataFlex Index is that the K14 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open K14, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the K14 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
In this case, you should first verify that the DataFlex application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name DataFlex into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support K14 files.
Programs to open K14 file
Remember to download programs supporting K14 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DataFlex with K14 files
If, despite the installed application, the K14 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the K14 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. 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 K14 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to K14 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our K14 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover K14 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of K14 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged K14 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact The Database Managers, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted K14 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the K14 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the K14 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the K14 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
