How to open K2 file?

The main problem with DataFlex Index is that the K2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that K2 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the K2 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. This can be achieved by typing DataFlex into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file K2.

Programs to open K2 file

Remember to download programs supporting K2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of DataFlex with K2 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the K2 file still does not use the DataFlex program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the DataFlex application as the default for handling the K2 file.

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The fault may also lie with the DataFlex program, it is possible that DataFlex Index requires a newer version of the program.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 K2 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the K2 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 K2 file. Sometimes virus-infected K2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the K2 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged K2 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use The Database Managers, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file K2 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 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 K2 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the K2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the K2 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
