How to open PBTX file?
The most common problem when using PowerBuilder Target Data Format is that a specific PBTX is not associated with the program. This causes the file PBTX 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 PBTX 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 Sybase PowerBuilder
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Sybase PowerBuilder is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Sybase PowerBuilder 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 PBTX files.
Programs to open PBTX file
Remember to download programs supporting PBTX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sybase PowerBuilder with PBTX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PBTX file still does not use the Sybase PowerBuilder program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PBTX file with the Sybase PowerBuilder program.
Step 3. Update Sybase PowerBuilder to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Sybase PowerBuilder program with the PowerBuilder Target Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Sybase Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PBTX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PBTX file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. 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 PBTX file. Sometimes virus-infected PBTX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PBTX file. 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 PBTX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PBTX 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. Copying the PBTX file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PBTX file again. However, some background programs may block the PBTX file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
