The OBR file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the OBR files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the OBR file on each system platform.
What is OBR file?
The OBR file has been categorized as Developer Files. The author of this format is Micro Focus International plc. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. Borland C++ Object Browser Data appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Borland C++. This was created by Micro Focus International plc.
How to open OBR file?
The main problem with Borland C++ Object Browser Data is that the OBR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file OBR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OBR 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 Borland C++
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Borland C++ is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Borland C++ into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support OBR files.
Programs to open OBR file
Remember to download programs supporting OBR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Borland C++ with OBR files
If, despite the installed application, the OBR file does not start in the Borland C++ 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Borland C++ application as the default for handling the OBR file.
Step 3. Update Borland C++ to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Borland C++ program, it is possible that Borland C++ Object Browser Data requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Micro Focus International plc website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OBR file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the OBR file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. 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 OBR file. However, remember that not every infected OBR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of OBR 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair OBR file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Micro Focus International plc, 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 OBR 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the OBR file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the OBR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
