How to open SRD file?

An often recurring problem with PowerBuilder Data Window is that SRD is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file SRD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SRD file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Sybase PowerBuilder

The first step is to check if the computer has the Sybase PowerBuilder program installed. To do this, enter the name Sybase PowerBuilder into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file SRD.

Programs to open SRD file

Remember to download programs supporting SRD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Sybase PowerBuilder with SRD files

If, despite the installed application, the SRD file does not start in the Sybase PowerBuilder application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Sybase PowerBuilder application as the default for handling the SRD file.

Step 3. Update Sybase PowerBuilder to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Sybase PowerBuilder program with the PowerBuilder Data Window file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Sybase Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SRD file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The SRD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SRD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SRD file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SRD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SRD file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SRD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Sybase Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SRD except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the SRD file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SRD file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
