How to open DBAT file?
An often recurring problem with Quicken For Mac Data is that DBAT is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that DBAT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DBAT 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 Quicken Essentials

Programs to open DBAT file
Remember to download programs supporting DBAT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Quicken Essentials with DBAT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DBAT file to open in the Quicken Essentials application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 DBAT file with the Quicken Essentials program.
Step 3. Update Quicken Essentials to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Quicken Essentials program, it is possible that Quicken For Mac Data requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DBAT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to DBAT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DBAT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DBAT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DBAT 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DBAT file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DBAT 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DBAT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DBAT file is blocked by the first application to open it. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
