What is PDBX file?
The PDBX file has been categorized as Database Files. It was designed by SunGard. Additionally, the Database Files category contains 403 of other files. Martini Personal Database is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Martini. This was created by SunGard.
How to open PDBX file?
An often recurring problem with Martini Personal Database is that PDBX is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open PDBX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PDBX 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 Martini
The first step is to check if the computer has the Martini program installed. This can be achieved by typing Martini into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PDBX files.
Programs to open PDBX file
Remember to download programs supporting PDBX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Martini with PDBX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PDBX file still does not use the Martini program, it means no association. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 PDBX file with the Martini application.
Step 3. Update Martini to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Martini program with the Martini Personal Database 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 SunGard website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PDBX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the PDBX file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PDBX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected PDBX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of PDBX 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PDBX files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SunGard, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PDBX 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 PDBX to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the PDBX 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. However, some background programs may block the PDBX file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
