Convert MRT to R13

Understanding mrt and r13 file formats

MRT files are report templates created by Stimulsoft Reports, a popular reporting tool used for designing and generating reports in .NET and other platforms. These files store the layout, data sources, and formatting for reports.

R13 files, on the other hand, are associated with R:BASE, a relational database management system. The R13 extension typically represents a database file or a backup created by R:BASE version 13, containing structured data and schema information.

Why convert mrt to r13?

Converting an MRT report template to an R13 database file is not a standard or direct conversion, as these formats serve different purposes: one is for report design, the other for database storage. However, if your goal is to extract data from an MRT report and import it into an R:BASE database, you would need to export the report data (often to CSV or Excel) and then import that data into R:BASE, creating an R13 file.

How to convert mrt to r13

1. Open the MRT file in Stimulsoft Reports Designer.
2. Export the report data:
   • Go to File → Export → Data → CSV or Excel.
3. Open R:BASE (version 13 or later).
4. Import the exported data:
   • Use File → Import → CSV or Excel to bring the data into a new or existing database.
5. Save your database, which will create or update the R13 file.

Best software for mrt to r13 conversion

• Stimulsoft Reports Designer – for exporting data from MRT files.
• R:BASE 13 – for importing data and managing R13 database files.

There are no direct converters for MRT to R13, so this two-step process is the most reliable method.

Tips for successful conversion

• Ensure the exported data format (CSV/Excel) matches the schema expected by R:BASE.
• Review and clean your data before importing to avoid errors.
• Back up your original files before starting the conversion process.
