VAL is the .VAL file extension used by Corel Paradox, which is a database application. It is a part of Corel's suite of software that enables users to store information, create user-defined fields, and customize data into reports. A .VAL file is a text file that holds validation rule and check data for any Paradox object or table. It is used for protecting the integrity of the Paradox database objects from being damaged beyond repair.
The structure of this validation rule file consists of the data type, data name, text containing the parameters of the data, and a header line indicating which time the VAL file was compiled in. Depending on what types of validation are present in the VAL file, it also can contain multiple time and data values. The VAL files also help users identify invalid input. For example, if a field needs to contain only integer values, the VAL file will make sure that no non-numeric values are put into that field.
Similar File Extensions
VAL files are some of the many similar file extensions used by Corel such as .VAL, .DB, .LBM, and .LBX. These analogous files offer options for storing information in different formats depending on the user needs.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .VAL) 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 .VAL 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 .VAL 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 .VAL 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 .VAL extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .VAL file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .VAL 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 .VAL file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .VAL file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .VAL file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
