A CRP file may also be a custom report created by dBASE, an IDE with database management capabilities. It contains information about a report, including the placement of objects within the report, such as text fields, shapes, and images. dBASE users create custom reports to configure the design of other reports (.REP files) that allow users to view data across databases in a formatted print or screen output without the ability to edit the data.
More Information
dBASE is a Windows application with features for managing databases and building and compiling programs. In the program, custom reports function similarly to templates, allowing you to configure the layout of objects on which other reports are based.
For example, you might create a custom report with a text field at the top that you want to appear on all the other reports. You can create a custom report with dBASE via the Custom Report Designer by selecting . dBASE saves CRP files in the following directory by default:
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\dBASE\dBASE[version]\Bin
How to open a CRP file
You can open CRP files with dBASE in Windows. For example, you can open a CRP file by selecting .
You can also open CRP files with a text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad (Windows) or Apple TextEdit (Mac), since they store plain text information. You may need to rename the .crp 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 break the custom report.
