How to open GXR file?
An often recurring problem with GeneXus Report is that GXR is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file GXR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GXR 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 GeneXus
The first step is to check if the computer has the GeneXus program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name GeneXus 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 GXR files.
Programs to open GXR file
Remember to download programs supporting GXR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GeneXus with GXR files
If, despite the installed application, the GXR file does not start in the GeneXus application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the GXR file with the GeneXus program.
Step 3. Update GeneXus to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the GeneXus program, it is possible that GeneXus Report requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Artech Consultores S.R.L. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GXR 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GXR file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 GXR file. However, remember that not every infected GXR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of GXR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GXR file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Artech Consultores S.R.L., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GXR 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move GXR to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GXR file again. However, some background programs may block the GXR file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
