How to open MVBA file?
The most common problem when using Bentley MicroStation VBA Project Format is that a specific MVBA is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MVBA, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MVBA 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 MicroStation
The first step is to check if the computer has the MicroStation program installed. This can be achieved by typing MicroStation 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 MVBA with MicroStation. Below is a list of programs that support the file MVBA.
Programs to open MVBA file
Remember to download programs supporting MVBA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MicroStation with MVBA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MVBA file to open in the MicroStation application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MicroStation application as the default for handling the MVBA file.
Step 3. Update MicroStation to the latest version
If, despite the association of the MicroStation program with the Bentley MicroStation VBA Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Bentley Systems, Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MVBA file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The MVBA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MVBA file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MVBA file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MVBA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MVBA files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MVBA file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MVBA 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 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. If possible, you can try to move the MVBA file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MVBA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the MVBA file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
