The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HDB 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.

Programs to open HDB file

Step 2. Create association of HansaWorld Enterprise with HDB files
If, despite the installed application, the HDB file does not start in the HansaWorld Enterprise 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the HDB file with the HansaWorld Enterprise application.
Step 3. Update HansaWorld Enterprise to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the HansaWorld Enterprise program, it is possible that HansaWorld Database Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the HansaWorld page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HDB 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to HDB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HDB file. Sometimes virus-infected HDB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the HDB 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 HDB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use HansaWorld help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file HDB 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move HDB to a different directory.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HDB to close. However, some background programs may block the HDB file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
