What is HBZ file?

It was released by Star Finanz GmbH.

How to open HBZ file?

The main problem with StarMoney Macro is that the HBZ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file HBZ to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HBZ 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 StarMoney

The first step is to check if the computer has the StarMoney program installed. This can be achieved by typing StarMoney into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file HBZ with StarMoney. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HBZ files.

Programs to open HBZ file

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

Step 2. Create association of StarMoney with HBZ files

If, despite the installed application, the HBZ file does not start in the StarMoney 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the HBZ file with the StarMoney application.

Step 3. Update StarMoney to the latest version

If, despite the association of the StarMoney program with the StarMoney Macro file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Star Finanz GmbH website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HBZ 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the HBZ file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HBZ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected HBZ 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 HBZ 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HBZ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Star Finanz GmbH, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HBZ 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. If possible, you can try to move the HBZ file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the HBZ file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
