How to open K6 file?
An often recurring problem with DataFlex Index is that K6 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open K6, 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 K6 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. To do this, enter the name DataFlex into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support K6 files.
Programs to open K6 file
Remember to download programs supporting K6 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DataFlex with K6 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the K6 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 select the desired program. 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 K6 file.
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. 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 K6 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 K6 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to K6 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. 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 K6 file. Sometimes virus-infected K6 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the K6 file. 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 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 K6 file corruption. 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 file K6 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the K6 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the K6 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
