File Extension ERR

File type: Error Log File, FoxPro Compilation Error

About the ERR file type:

If Windows cannot find the appropriate program associated with .ERR files, then your registry may have errors. Check your Windows registry for errors (includes file association errors).

The ERR file extension is used in the identification of files that contain the Error Log for several software programs. The said file extension is entirely a text file that itemizes the error messages which have been generated automatically from the application associated to it. It is typically seen implemented at beta testing processes involving software program development in order to properly isolate the potential application problems. The ERR file extension is a non-proprietary Error Log File and in most cases, it is automatically updated and generated by the program and could be accessed readily by all word processing programs or text editors. This explains why, in a number of computer systems, the ERR file extension could suddenly appear even if it is not a part of the software program installation process.

The Microsoft Visual FoxPro is a programming language compiler that lists the errors encountered in the process of compilation of the database program. It also creates the ERR file extension. In the context of the languages used in programming and the said file extension, compilers are basically computer programs employed in the translation of text-based computer instructions in high-level scripting and programming languages to language that could be readily understood by the computer. The translation process is generally undertaken for the purpose of creating executable files that could be automatically launched without having to open the program that has created it. A command line compiler employs an error log that typically has the ERR file extension in order to alert the developers of the potential execution or syntax errors contained in the programming instructions.
