How to open TBM file?
The main problem with DB/TextWorks Database Menu Screen is that the TBM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that TBM files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TBM 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 TextWorks
The first step is to check if the computer has the TextWorks program installed. This can be achieved by typing TextWorks into the operating 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 TBM files.
Programs to open TBM file
Remember to download programs supporting TBM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TextWorks with TBM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TBM file to open in the TextWorks application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TBM file with the TextWorks program.
Step 3. Update TextWorks to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TextWorks program, it is possible that DB/TextWorks Database Menu Screen requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Inmagic, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TBM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the TBM file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. 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 TBM file. However, remember that not every infected TBM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TBM file. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TBM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Inmagic, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TBM 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.
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. If possible, you can try to move the TBM file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the TBM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
