How to open WBO file?
The main problem with DataFlex Web Business Object is that the WBO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that WBO 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 WBO 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 DataFlex
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DataFlex is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name DataFlex 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 WBO files.
Programs to open WBO file
Remember to download programs supporting WBO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DataFlex with WBO files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WBO file still does not use the DataFlex program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 DataFlex application as the default for handling the WBO file.
Step 3. Update DataFlex to the latest version
If, however, after binding DataFlex with DataFlex Web Business Object there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the The Database Managers, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WBO 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the WBO file contents when downloading or copying. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WBO file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected WBO files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WBO 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 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 WBO files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact The Database Managers, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file WBO 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the WBO file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the WBO 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.
