What is WO file?
The file with the extension WO is the Misc Files file type. The creator of this file is The Database Managers, Inc.. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. DataFlex Web Object appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Linux systems, unfortunately not on others. The DataFlex application is recommended to open the file. It was released by The Database Managers, Inc..
How to open WO file?
The main problem with DataFlex Web Object is that the WO file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open WO, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WO 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
In this case, you should first verify that the DataFlex application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing DataFlex 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 WO.
Programs to open WO file
Remember to download programs supporting WO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DataFlex with WO files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WO file to open in the DataFlex application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the DataFlex application as the default for handling the WO file.
Step 3. Update DataFlex to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the DataFlex program, it is possible that DataFlex Web Object requires a newer version of the program.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 WO file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the WO file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WO file. However, remember that not every infected WO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WO file. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WO files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact The Database Managers, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WO 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the WO file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file WO to close. However, some background programs may block the WO file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
