Troubleshooting Problems Opening BSE Files
Typical BSE Opening Challenges
Missing CRiSP Harvest
If you attempt to load your BSE file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open BSE Files". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have CRiSP Harvest for %%os%% installed on your computer. Your operating system cannot associate your BSE with CRiSP Harvest, so double-clicking the file won't work.
Tip: Another BSE-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.
CRiSP Harvest is Out-of-Date
Sometimes your installed version of CRiSP Harvest won't support your CRiSP Harvest File file. If you do not have the proper version CRiSP Harvest (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. Your CRiSP Harvest File file was probably created by a newer release of CRiSP Harvest than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your BSE file and clicking "Properties".
Conclusion: The majority of BSE file opening issues are due to not having the correct CRiSP Harvest version installed.
