This is a program created by Jan Fiala.

How to open RQB file?

The main problem with RapidQ Quellcode Data Format is that the RQB file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file RQB 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 RQB 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 PSPad

The first step is to check if the computer has the PSPad program installed. This can be achieved by typing PSPad into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support RQB files.

Programs to open RQB file

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

Step 2. Create association of PSPad with RQB files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RQB file to open in the PSPad application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 PSPad application as the default for handling the RQB file.

Step 3. Update PSPad to the latest version

If, despite the association of the PSPad program with the RapidQ Quellcode Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Jan Fiala website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RQB 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 RQB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the RQB 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. 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 RQB file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RQB 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 RQB file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RQB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RQB 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move RQB 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 RQB file again. However, some background programs may block the RQB file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
