How to open QMETHOD file?

The most common problem when using AB SCIEX MultiQuant Quantitation Method is that a specific QMETHOD is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that QMETHOD files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the QMETHOD 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 MultiQuant Software

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MultiQuant Software is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing MultiQuant Software into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open QMETHOD files.

Programs to open QMETHOD file

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

Step 2. Create association of MultiQuant Software with QMETHOD files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the QMETHOD file to open in the MultiQuant Software application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the QMETHOD file with the MultiQuant Software application.

Step 3. Update MultiQuant Software to the latest version

If, despite the association of the MultiQuant Software program with the AB SCIEX MultiQuant Quantitation Method file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the AB SCIEX page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to QMETHOD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the QMETHOD file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected QMETHOD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the QMETHOD files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular QMETHOD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact AB SCIEX
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file QMETHOD 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 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 QMETHOD 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the QMETHOD file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
