Step 2. Create association of Great Budget with GBD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GBD file to open in the Great Budget application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GBD file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The GBD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to GBD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GBD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected GBD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GBD files changes over time. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GBD files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Great Budget Software
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GBD 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the GBD file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the GBD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GBD file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
