How to open QBE file?

An often recurring problem with Corel Quattro Pro Saved Query is that QBE is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file QBE to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the QBE 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 Corel Quattro Pro

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Corel Quattro Pro is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Corel Quattro Pro in it. 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 QBE.

Programs to open QBE file

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

Step 2. Create association of Corel Quattro Pro with QBE files

If, despite the installed application, the QBE file does not start in the Corel Quattro Pro application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 Corel Quattro Pro application as the default for handling the QBE file.

Step 3. Update Corel Quattro Pro to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Corel Quattro Pro program with the Corel Quattro Pro Saved Query 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 Corel Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QBE 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the QBE file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file QBE or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover QBE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of QBE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged QBE files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Corel Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted QBE files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the QBE file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the QBE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
