The .BTR file is a data file associated with the Pervasive Software Btrieve database. It is used for storing and manipulating structured information within the database. The data in this file is indexed, so that when a query is made, the records can be located quickly. It is used to store data from various functions including financial accounting, contact management, and inventory tracking. This type of file is compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems.

Technical Details
The Btrieve database files can be created with versions 6.x, 7.x, 8.x and higher. It is implemented as part of the Microsoft Windows API System Services Database Layer (SDBL). Its underlying storage format is based on the indexed sequential access method and provides for fast record lookup due to its index structures.
Btrieve data files can have a maximum size of 128GB and allow both streaming as well as random access operations. Furthermore, up to 255 indices can be created in any given database table.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .BTR) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .BTR extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .BTR file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .BTR extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .BTR extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .BTR file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .BTR file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .BTR file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .BTR file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .BTR file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
