How to open RPN file?
The main problem with ACT! 2.0 Report is that the RPN file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open RPN, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RPN 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 Act!
In this case, you should first verify that the Act! application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Act! into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support RPN files.
Programs to open RPN file
Remember to download programs supporting RPN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Act! with RPN files
If, despite the installed application, the RPN file does not start in the Act! 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 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Act! application as the default for handling the RPN file.
Step 3. Update Act! to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Act! program, it is possible that ACT! 2.0 Report requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the The Sage Group plc page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RPN 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to RPN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 RPN file. However, remember that not every infected RPN file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RPN files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RPN file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use The Sage Group plc help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RPN 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. If possible, you can try to move the RPN file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RPN 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. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RPN file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
