How to open ~AP file?
The most common problem when using Borland C++ Old AppExpert Project Database is that a specific ~AP is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open ~AP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ~AP 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 Borland C++
The first step is to check if the computer has the Borland C++ program installed. This can be achieved by typing Borland C++ 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 ~AP.
Programs to open ~AP file
Remember to download programs supporting ~AP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Borland C++ with ~AP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ~AP file to open in the Borland C++ 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. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ~AP file with the Borland C++ program.
Step 3. Update Borland C++ to the latest version
If, however, after binding Borland C++ with Borland C++ Old AppExpert Project Database there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Micro Focus International plc website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ~AP 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to ~AP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ~AP file. However, remember that not every infected ~AP 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 ~AP files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ~AP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Micro Focus International plc, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ~AP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move ~AP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ~AP to close. However, some background programs may block the ~AP file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
