How to open LRP file?

The most common problem when using IBM Works For OS/2 Report is that a specific LRP is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that LRP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LRP 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 OS/2

The first step is to check if the computer has the OS/2 program installed. To do this, enter the name OS/2 into the 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 LRP.

Programs to open LRP file

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

Step 2. Create association of OS/2 with LRP files

If, despite the installed application, the LRP file does not start in the OS/2 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 LRP file with the OS/2 application.

Step 3. Update OS/2 to the latest version

If, despite the association of the OS/2 program with the IBM Works For OS/2 Report file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to LRP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LRP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected LRP 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 LRP 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LRP file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file LRP 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the LRP file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LRP file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
