How to open XLGC file?

An often recurring problem with ExpressK Database Format is that XLGC is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file XLGC 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 XLGC 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 ExpressK

The first step is to check if the computer has the ExpressK program installed. This can be achieved by typing ExpressK into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support XLGC files.

Programs to open XLGC file

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

Step 2. Create association of ExpressK with XLGC files

If, despite the installed application, the XLGC file does not start in the ExpressK application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ExpressK application as the default for handling the XLGC file.

Step 3. Update ExpressK to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ExpressK program, it is possible that ExpressK Database Format requires a newer version of the program.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to XLGC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XLGC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XLGC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of XLGC 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XLGC file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file XLGC except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move XLGC to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the XLGC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XLGC file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
