The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 01B 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 Payroll

Programs to open 01B file
Remember to download programs supporting 01B files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Payroll with 01B files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the 01B file still does not use the Payroll program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 01B file with the Payroll application.
Step 3. Update Payroll to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Payroll program with the PenSoft Payroll Backup Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Paychex, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 01B file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The 01B file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 01B file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 01B or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected 01B 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 01B 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 01B file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Paychex, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file 01B 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the 01B file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 01B file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
