How to open RB2 file?
An often recurring problem with R:Base Data Format is that RB2 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open RB2, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RB2 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 R:BASE
In this case, you should first verify that the R:BASE application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name R:BASE in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file RB2.
Programs to open RB2 file
Remember to download programs supporting RB2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of R:BASE with RB2 files
If, despite the installed application, the RB2 file does not start in the R:BASE 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. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RB2 file with the R:BASE program.
Step 3. Update R:BASE to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the R:BASE program, it is possible that R:Base Data Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RB2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The RB2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RB2 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RB2 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RB2 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 RB2 files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RB2 file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RB2 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move RB2 to a different directory.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RB2 file again. However, some background programs may block the RB2 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
