Tips to open BCP file
Can't open the BCP file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open BCP files as well as a list of programs that support BCP files.

The BCP file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the BCP files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the BCP file on each system platform.
What is BCP file?
The file in the BCP format belongs to the Developer Files category. The author of this format is Borland. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. Borland C++ Makefile appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Borland C++. This was created by Micro Focus International plc.
How to open BCP file?
The main problem with Borland C++ Makefile is that the BCP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open BCP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BCP 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 Borland C++
In this case, you should first verify that the Borland C++ application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Borland C++ in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BCP with Borland C++. Below is a list of programs that support the file BCP.
Programs to open BCP file
Remember to download programs supporting BCP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Borland C++ with BCP files
If, despite the installed application, the BCP file does not start in the Borland C++ application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BCP file with the Borland C++ program.
Step 3. Update Borland C++ to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Borland C++ program with the Borland C++ Makefile 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 Micro Focus International plc page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BCP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BCP file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BCP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected BCP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BCP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BCP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Borland help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file BCP 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the BCP file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BCP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BCP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BCP file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
