How to open 3TF file?
An often recurring problem with Crystal Reports is that 3TF is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that 3TF files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 3TF 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 Crystal Reports
The first step is to check if the computer has the Crystal Reports program installed. This can be achieved by typing Crystal Reports into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file 3TF.
Programs to open 3TF file
Remember to download programs supporting 3TF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Crystal Reports with 3TF files
If, despite the installed application, the 3TF file does not start in the Crystal Reports application, you must create a file 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 select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 3TF file with the Crystal Reports application.
Step 3. Update Crystal Reports to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Crystal Reports program, it is possible that Crystal Reports requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SAP AG website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 3TF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The 3TF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 3TF file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file 3TF or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover 3TF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of 3TF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 3TF file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SAP AG
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file 3TF 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the 3TF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 3TF file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
