How to open XEQ file?

An often recurring problem with Sage MAS 90 Data is that XEQ is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file XEQ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XEQ 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 Sage MAS 90

The first step is to check if the computer has the Sage MAS 90 program installed. To do this, enter the name Sage MAS 90 into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file XEQ with Sage MAS 90. Below you will find a list of applications that support XEQ files.

Programs to open XEQ file

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

Step 2. Create association of Sage MAS 90 with XEQ files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XEQ file still does not use the Sage MAS 90 program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Sage MAS 90 application as the default for handling the XEQ file.

Step 3. Update Sage MAS 90 to the latest version

If, however, after binding Sage MAS 90 with Sage MAS 90 Data there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the The Sage Group plc website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XEQ file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XEQ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected XEQ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the XEQ 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XEQ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use The Sage Group plc help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XEQ 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move XEQ to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the XEQ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the XEQ file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
