How to open VBO file?

An often recurring problem with Microsoft Access Package Deployment References is that VBO is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that VBO files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VBO 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 Microsoft Access

In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Access application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft Access in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open VBO files.

Programs to open VBO file

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

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Access with VBO files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VBO file to open in the Microsoft Access 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. 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 Microsoft Access application as the default for handling the VBO file.

Step 3. Update Microsoft Access to the latest version

If, however, after binding Microsoft Access with Microsoft Access Package Deployment References there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VBO file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file VBO or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected VBO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the VBO 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VBO files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file VBO 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. If possible, you can try to move the VBO file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the VBO 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. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
