How to open LD1 file?
The most common problem when using DBASE Overlay is that a specific LD1 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open LD1, 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 LD1 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 dBASE
The first step is to check if the computer has the dBASE program installed. To do this, enter the name dBASE into the 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 LD1 files.
Programs to open LD1 file
Remember to download programs supporting LD1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of dBASE with LD1 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LD1 file to open in the dBASE application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the LD1 file with the dBASE application.
Step 3. Update dBASE to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the dBASE program, it is possible that DBASE Overlay requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the dataBased Intelligence, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LD1 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LD1 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LD1 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected LD1 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 LD1 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LD1 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use dataBased Intelligence, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LD1 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the LD1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LD1 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LD1 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
