What is BES file?
The BES file has been categorized as Database Files. The creator of this file is Bitter End Systems. Database Files consists of 403 similar files. MOBY Database is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use MOBY to handle this file. This is a program created by Bitter End Systems.
How to open BES file?
The most common problem when using MOBY Database is that a specific BES is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open BES, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BES 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 MOBY
In this case, you should first verify that the MOBY application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name MOBY in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BES files.
Programs to open BES file
Remember to download programs supporting BES files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MOBY with BES files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BES file to open in the MOBY application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MOBY application as the default for handling the BES file.
Step 3. Update MOBY to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the MOBY program, it is possible that MOBY Database requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Bitter End Systems page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BES file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the BES file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 BES or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected BES file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BES file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BES file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Bitter End Systems, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BES files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 BES 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
