A REP file may also be a report created by dBASE, an IDE with database management capabilities. It contains dBASE code (dBL) that defines the contents and formatting of a report, including the placement of objects, such as text fields, shapes, and images. dBASE users create reports to view data across various databases in a formatted print or screen (non-editable) output.
More Information
dBASE is a Windows application that includes many features for managing databases and building and compiling programs. The application provides a report designer that allows you to configure the layout and capabilities of your report as you query different databases.
For example, suppose you want to retrieve information from your customers during a specific range of dates. In that case, you can create a report to query your "Customer," "Invoice," and "Lineitem" tables in your database.
How to open a REP file
You can open REP files with dBASE in Windows. For example, you can open a REP file by selecting File → Open.
Since REP files store information in plain text, you can also open them with a text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad (Windows) or Apple TextEdit (Mac). You may need to rename the .rep file extension to .txt for the text editor to recognize it.
When opened in a text editor, you can modify the properties of the custom report. However, it will not appear the same as if you open it with dBASE. Also, incorrectly editing the file will corrupt the report.
