How to open BP file?
An often recurring problem with DataFlex Business Process Object is that BP is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that BP 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 BP 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 DataFlex
The first step is to check if the computer has the DataFlex program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name DataFlex in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file BP.
Programs to open BP file
Remember to download programs supporting BP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DataFlex with BP files
If, despite the installed application, the BP file does not start in the DataFlex 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 DataFlex application as the default for handling the BP file.
Step 3. Update DataFlex to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DataFlex program with the DataFlex Business Process Object file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the The Database Managers, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BP file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The BP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BP file. Sometimes virus-infected BP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BP file. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use The Database Managers, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BP 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.
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. It is best to move BP to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
