What is FRG file?

The file in the FRG format belongs to the Text Files category. The author of this format is dataBased Intelligence, Inc.. Text Files consists of 440 similar files. DBASE IV Uncompiled Report Format is supported by 1 operating systems. 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 dBASE. This was created by dataBased Intelligence, Inc..

How to open FRG file?

The most common problem when using DBASE IV Uncompiled Report Format is that a specific FRG is not associated with the program. This causes the file FRG to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FRG 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 dBASE

In this case, you should first verify that the dBASE application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name dBASE into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FRG with dBASE. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FRG files.

Programs to open FRG file

Remember to download programs supporting FRG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of dBASE with FRG files

If, despite the installed application, the FRG file does not start in the dBASE 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FRG file with the dBASE program.

Step 3. Update dBASE to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the dBASE program, it is possible that DBASE IV Uncompiled Report Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the dataBased Intelligence, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FRG file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The FRG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the FRG file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FRG or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FRG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FRG 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FRG files. You can restore the file from a backup or use dataBased Intelligence, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FRG 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 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 FRG file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FRG 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 FRG to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FRG file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
