What is W44 file?
The file in the W44 format belongs to the Misc Files category. The author of this format is dataBased Intelligence, Inc.. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files.

The dBASE application is recommended to open the file. It was released by dataBased Intelligence, Inc..
How to open W44 file?
An often recurring problem with DBASE Temporary is that W44 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file W44 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the W44 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 W44 with dBASE. Below is a list of programs that support the file W44.
Programs to open W44 file
Remember to download programs supporting W44 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of dBASE with W44 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the W44 file still does not use the dBASE program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 W44 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The fault may also lie with the dBASE program, it is possible that DBASE Temporary requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the dataBased Intelligence, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the W44 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the W44 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the W44 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected W44 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 W44 files changes over time. 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 option of recovering data from damaged W44 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact dataBased Intelligence, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted W44 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 W44 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. 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.
