What is an RPT file?(*10*)

An RPT file duration file is probably a type of report file, but knowing how to open it depends on the program that uses it, since reports with the .RPT breadth can be used by various applications.

As an example, some RPT files are Crystal Reports files created with the SAP Crystal Reports program. These reports may contain data from a range of databases that are likely to be fully interactive and sortable in Crystal Reports software.

Another report file format that uses the RPT suffix is the AccountEdge report file created with the AccountEdge Pro software. These reports can have anything to do with accounting and payroll, sales, and warehousing.

Other RPT files can only be text files that are accepted by a range of reporting applications.

To open an RPT file in Windows 10:(*10*)

Since most RPT files are stored in text format, most files can be opened with a text editor such as Microsoft Notepad or Apple TextEdit. If the RPT file is saved in a proprietary format, you will most likely have to use the program that created the file to open it.

In Windows 10, if you don't use the proper software to open an RPT file, you'll get a message that says, “How do you want to open this file? Windows 10 cannot open this file”.

There are three main cases in which RPT files are created.

  • Crystal Reports (a corporate reporting program): This program creates some RPT files. These reports may contain data from multiple databases and will most likely be fully interactive and sortable in this software.
  • AccountEdge Pro (a business accounting management program): Another report file format that uses the RPT file duration is the AccountEdge report file created with this program.
  • These files can cover everything from accounting and payroll to sales and inventory.
  • Other RPT files can be plain text files that are compatible with a range of reporting applications.

Conclusion(*10*)

Be careful not to rename the breadth to .rpt or other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.
