Understanding MPR Issues
Common Problems Opening MPR Files
BibExcel Disappeared
When trying to open your MPR file, you get the error "Can't Open MPR File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to BibExcel missing in %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your MPR because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: When another MPR application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Incorrect BibExcel Version
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Bibexcel Data file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Download the latest BibExcel version from the Open Source website to ensure you have the correct one installed. This problem is predominately due to having a Bibexcel Data file version that was created by a newer version of BibExcel than what you have installed on your PC.
Tip: Right-clicking on your MPR, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.
Primarily, problems experienced when opening MPR files are due to having the incorrect version of BibExcel installed on your computer.
Other MPR File Opening Causes
Although you might already have BibExcel or another MPR-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Bibexcel Data files. If you are still having problems opening MPR files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. Issues that aren't software-related:
- MPR file references in the Windows Registry are broken
- Mistaken removal of the Windows registry MPR description
- Partial installation of BibExcel that did not fully complete
- File corruption affecting your MPR file
- Malware-tainted MPR file can't be opened
- Drivers associated with MPR software need to be updated
- Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Bibexcel Data file
Quiz: Which of these is considered a vector image file?
That's Correct!
The unique thing about vector files such as AI and EPS is that graphic details (eg. sizes and shapes of objects) and text remains editable. This allows you can save and re-open them in Illustrator and edit text or other elements within the graphic.
