How to open FBK file?
The main problem with Microsoft Dynamics NAV Backup Format is that the FBK file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open FBK, 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 FBK 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 Microsoft Dynamics NAV
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft Dynamics NAV is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Dynamics NAV in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FBK files.
Programs to open FBK file
Remember to download programs supporting FBK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Dynamics NAV with FBK files
If, despite the installed application, the FBK file does not start in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 FBK file with the Microsoft Dynamics NAV program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Dynamics NAV to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Dynamics NAV with Microsoft Dynamics NAV Backup Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FBK 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 FBK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FBK file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FBK file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected FBK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FBK files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FBK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FBK 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move FBK to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FBK to close. However, some background programs may block the FBK file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
