What is RSD file?
The file in the RSD format belongs to the Database Files category. The author of this format is REAL. Database Files consists of 403 similar files. RealSQLDatabase Format is most often found on 3 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The REALbasic application is recommended to open the file. It was released by REAL Software, Inc.. Alternatively, you can use 3 other programs. The Resort Recipe programs will also handle the file when the REALbasic program does not fulfill its role.
How to open RSD file?
The most common problem when using RealSQLDatabase Format is that a specific RSD is not associated with the program. This causes the file RSD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RSD 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 REALbasic
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that REALbasic is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name REALbasic into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RSD with REALbasic. Below you will find a list of applications that support RSD files.
Programs to open RSD file
Remember to download programs supporting RSD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of REALbasic with RSD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RSD file to open in the REALbasic 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the REALbasic application as the default for handling the RSD file.
Step 3. Update REALbasic to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the REALbasic program, it is possible that RealSQLDatabase Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the REAL Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RSD 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to RSD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RSD or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RSD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RSD 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RSD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact REAL
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RSD files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. Copying the RSD file to another location will fix the problem.
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 RSD file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
