Sources of RPTDESIGN Problems

Issues Opening RPTDESIGN Files

BIRT Not Present

Double-clicking your RPTDESIGN file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open RPTDESIGN File". Customarily, this means that BIRT is not installed on %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your RPTDESIGN file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens RPTDESIGN files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Wrong Version of BIRT is Installed

Your BIRT Report Design file is incompatible with BIRT because you might have the wrong version installed. If you do not have the proper version BIRT (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. Most of the time your BIRT Report Design file was created by a newer BIRT than what you have installed.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of RPTDESIGN file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening RPTDESIGN files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.
