Issues Opening OR2 Files
IBM Lotus Organizer is Not Installed
When trying to open your OR2 file, you get the error "Can't Open OR2 File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because IBM Lotus Organizer isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your OR2 file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: If you don't have IBM Lotus Organizer installed, and you know of another program to open your OR2 file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".

This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.
Tip: Right-clicking on your OR2, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Regardless, most of the OR2 file opening problems relate to not having the right version of IBM Lotus Organizer installed.
