How to open REFX file?
The main problem with E-Sword Reference Library Note is that the REFX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that REFX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the REFX 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 e-Sword
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that e-Sword is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing e-Sword into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file REFX.
Programs to open REFX file
Remember to download programs supporting REFX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of e-Sword with REFX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the REFX file still does not use the e-Sword program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the REFX file with the e-Sword program.
Step 3. Update e-Sword to the latest version
If, despite the association of the e-Sword program with the E-Sword Reference Library Note file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Rick Meyers website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the REFX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the REFX file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the REFX file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected REFX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of REFX 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged REFX files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Rick Meyers
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted REFX 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the REFX file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the REFX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file REFX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the REFX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
