Programs to open KEXIS file

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

Step 2. Create association of Kexi with KEXIS files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the KEXIS file still does not use the Kexi program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the KEXIS file with the Kexi program.

Step 3. Update Kexi to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Kexi program with the Kexi Database Shortcut Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Kexi Team website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KEXIS file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to KEXIS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our KEXIS file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KEXIS 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 KEXIS file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ability to automatically repair KEXIS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Kexi Team
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file KEXIS 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the KEXIS file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the KEXIS 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.
