How to open TAG file?
The most common problem when using DataFlex Query Tag is that a specific TAG is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that TAG 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 TAG 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 DataFlex
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DataFlex is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name DataFlex in it. 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 TAG files.
Programs to open TAG file
Remember to download programs supporting TAG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DataFlex with TAG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TAG file still does not use the DataFlex program, it means no 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 TAG file with the DataFlex program.
Step 3. Update DataFlex to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the DataFlex program, it is possible that DataFlex Query Tag requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the The Database Managers, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TAG 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 suggests truncating the TAG file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TAG file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TAG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of TAG 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TAG file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TAG 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the TAG file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
