How to open K15 file?
The most common problem when using DataFlex Index is that a specific K15 is not associated with the program. This causes the file K15 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 K15 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the DataFlex program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name DataFlex in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open K15 files.
Programs to open K15 file
Remember to download programs supporting K15 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DataFlex with K15 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the K15 file to open in the DataFlex application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 K15 file with the DataFlex program.
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 K15 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the K15 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. 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 K15 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover K15 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the K15 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular K15 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact The Database Managers, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted K15 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the K15 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the K15 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file K15 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the K15 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
