How to open KEXI file?
The main problem with Kexi Database is that the KEXI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that KEXI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KEXI 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 Kexi
In this case, you should first verify that the Kexi application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Kexi into the operating system search engine. 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 KEXI files.
Programs to open KEXI file
Remember to download programs supporting KEXI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Kexi with KEXI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the KEXI file to open in the Kexi application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. 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 KEXI file with the Kexi program.
Step 3. Update Kexi to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Kexi program, it is possible that Kexi Database requires a newer version of the program.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 Kexi Team page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KEXI 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:
The KEXI file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KEXI file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file KEXI or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected KEXI 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 KEXI 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.
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 KEXI files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Kexi Team help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KEXI files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the KEXI file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the KEXI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
