    Hi Mike,

    I recommend upgrading to RB 21 and then resave the templates. This will convert them to the new text format.

    The old RB versions used a proprietary read/write binary format.

    Hello Nard- thank you for this. Since the binary format is no longer being used, can you provide or describe how it worked so that we can decode it ? I am not a developer, but we used Report Builder as a built in interface to modify reports inside of software that is licensed to distribute RB as part of their product.

    What i am trying to do is to view the RTM file in a text editor, after it has been saved from the Report Builder interface. Thank you !

    Update- i wrote a Python program to convert old version RTM to new version, including the RAP code. I am working on a converter to go from new version RTM to old version.

    Hello,
    I met the same problem, .rtm files for ReportBuilder 14.05, with RAP code inside.
    And only available version of RB is 23.02.
    My goal is extract source code from RAP binaries. Could you share some solution?
    Thank you,
    Aleks
