Tips to open NTX file
Can't open the NTX file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open NTX files as well as a list of programs that support NTX files.
NTX file extension
The NTX file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the NTX files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the NTX file on each system platform.
What is NTX file?
The NTX file has been categorized as Database Files. In addition to this file, the Database Files category includes 403 related files. Clipper Database Index Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is dBASE. This was created by dataBased Intelligence, Inc..
How to open NTX file?
The most common problem when using Clipper Database Index Format is that a specific NTX is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open NTX, 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 NTX 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
In this case, you should first verify that the dBASE application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name dBASE into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NTX with dBASE. Below is a list of programs that support the file NTX.
Programs to open NTX file
Remember to download programs supporting NTX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of dBASE with NTX files
If, despite the installed application, the NTX file does not start in the dBASE application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the dBASE application as the default for handling the NTX file.
Step 3. Update dBASE to the latest version
If, however, after binding dBASE with Clipper Database Index Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the dataBased Intelligence, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NTX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The NTX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to NTX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NTX file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NTX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of NTX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NTX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NTX 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the NTX file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NTX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NTX file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NTX file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
