How to open LBO file?

The main problem with DBASE IV Compiled Label is that the LBO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file LBO 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 LBO 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

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that dBASE is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing dBASE into the operating system search engine. 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 LBO files.

Programs to open LBO file

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

Step 2. Create association of dBASE with LBO files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LBO file still does not use the dBASE program, it means no 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LBO file with the dBASE program.

Step 3. Update dBASE to the latest version

If, however, after binding dBASE with DBASE IV Compiled Label there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the dataBased Intelligence, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LBO file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LBO or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected LBO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of LBO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LBO file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use dataBased Intelligence, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LBO files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move LBO 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LBO to close. However, some background programs may block the LBO file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
