How to open SBPF file?
An often recurring problem with Small Business Publisher Document Format is that SBPF is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SBPF, 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 SBPF 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 Small Business Publisher
In this case, you should first verify that the Small Business Publisher application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Small Business Publisher into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SBPF files.
Programs to open SBPF file
Remember to download programs supporting SBPF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Small Business Publisher with SBPF files
If, despite the installed application, the SBPF file does not start in the Small Business Publisher 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SBPF file with the Small Business Publisher application.
Step 3. Update Small Business Publisher to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Small Business Publisher program with the Small Business Publisher Document 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 Belltech Systems, LLC website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SBPF 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SBPF file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SBPF file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SBPF 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 SBPF files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SBPF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SBPF 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the SBPF file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SBPF file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
