What is RBO file?

How to open RBO file?

The most common problem when using REALbasic Class is that a specific RBO is not associated with the program. This causes the file RBO 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 RBO 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 REALbasic

The first step is to check if the computer has the REALbasic program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name REALbasic in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RBO with REALbasic. Below you will find a list of applications that support RBO files.

Programs to open RBO file

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

Step 2. Create association of REALbasic with RBO files

If, despite the installed application, the RBO file does not start in the REALbasic application, you must create a file 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the REALbasic application as the default for handling the RBO file.

Step 3. Update REALbasic to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the REALbasic program, it is possible that REALbasic Class requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the REAL Software, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RBO file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the RBO file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RBO file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RBO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RBO file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 RBO file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact REAL Software, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file RBO 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 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. It is best to move RBO to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RBO to close. However, some background programs may block the RBO file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
