How to open GDBTABLX file?

An often recurring problem with ArcGIS Geodatabase is that GDBTABLX is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that GDBTABLX 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 GDBTABLX 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 ArcGIS Desktop

The first step is to check if the computer has the ArcGIS Desktop program installed. This can be achieved by typing ArcGIS Desktop into the operating system search engine. 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 GDBTABLX.

Programs to open GDBTABLX file

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

Step 2. Create association of ArcGIS Desktop with GDBTABLX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GDBTABLX file still does not use the ArcGIS Desktop program, it means no association. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ArcGIS Desktop application as the default for handling the GDBTABLX file.

Step 3. Update ArcGIS Desktop to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ArcGIS Desktop program, it is possible that ArcGIS Geodatabase requires a newer version of the program.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 Esri page and install.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The GDBTABLX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GDBTABLX file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. 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 GDBTABLX file. However, remember that not every infected GDBTABLX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GDBTABLX files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GDBTABLX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Esri
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file GDBTABLX 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the GDBTABLX 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GDBTABLX file again. However, some background programs may block the GDBTABLX file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
