What is OYZ file?
The file with the extension OYZ is the Misc Files file type. The creator of this file is dataBased Intelligence, Inc.. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Lotus Approach Alternate DBASE Index appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The dBASE application is recommended to open the file. It was released by dataBased Intelligence, Inc.. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs. The Lotus 1-2-3 programs will also handle the file when the dBASE program does not fulfill its role.
How to open OYZ file?
The most common problem when using Lotus Approach Alternate DBASE Index is that a specific OYZ is not associated with the program. This causes the file OYZ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OYZ 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. This can be achieved by typing dBASE into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file OYZ with dBASE. Below is a list of programs that support the file OYZ.
Programs to open OYZ file
Remember to download programs supporting OYZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of dBASE with OYZ files
If, despite the installed application, the OYZ file does not start in the dBASE application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the OYZ file with the dBASE program.
Step 3. Update dBASE to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the dBASE program, it is possible that Lotus Approach Alternate DBASE Index requires a newer version of the program. 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 OYZ 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to OYZ 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 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 OYZ file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected OYZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of OYZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair OYZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting dataBased Intelligence, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file OYZ 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the OYZ file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OYZ to close. However, some background programs may block the OYZ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
