The .ASK file format, developed by askSam Systems LLC, is an index-searchable database that is primarily used to store large amounts of information, such as research findings and digital content. It stores information in a way that can be quickly indexed and consequently searched. The indexing enables users to locate the desired information almost instantaneously.
Format Details
The ASK file format is stored in what is known as a structured table containing columns and rows. This type of storage makes it easy for users to organize the stored information in an intuitive way. Within each row, there are numerous cells that each store data on the same topic or record. Depending on the amount of information contained, some rows may contain more cells than others. Most common types of data stored in this format include memos, emails, contacts, numbers, images, documents or any other type of textual or media content.
Compatibility
ASK files are only compatible with askSam, a full-featured text-based database program developed specifically for managing and organizing text-based documents and other data stored in cells. The software supports various other databases such as .FPD, .APX, .DBF, .TXT, .DTF, .CSV, and .WPD. It can also import and export data between databases as needed. Furthermore, these files can be converted to other popular formats including MS Word ( .DOCX) or PDF ( .PDF) using dedicated tools.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ASK) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ASK extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ASK file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ASK extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ASK extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ASK file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ASK file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ASK file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ASK file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ASK file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
