How to open NSPD file?

The main problem with Navicat For SQL Server Data Synchronization Profile is that the NSPD file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open NSPD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NSPD 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 Navicat for SQL Server

The first step is to check if the computer has the Navicat for SQL Server program installed. This can be achieved by typing Navicat for SQL Server into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NSPD with Navicat for SQL Server. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NSPD files.

Step 2. Create association of Navicat for SQL Server with NSPD files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NSPD file to open in the Navicat for SQL Server application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NSPD file with the Navicat for SQL Server program.

Step 3. Update Navicat for SQL Server to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Navicat for SQL Server program, it is possible that Navicat For SQL Server Data Synchronization Profile requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the PremiumSoft CyberTech Ltd. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NSPD 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. This suggests truncating the NSPD file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NSPD file. However, remember that not every infected NSPD 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 NSPD files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NSPD files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact PremiumSoft CyberTech Ltd.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file NSPD 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the NSPD file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
