How to open SD4 file?
The main problem with Smart Diary Suite Database is that the SD4 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open SD4, 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 SD4 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 Smart Diary Suite
The first step is to check if the computer has the Smart Diary Suite program installed. To do this, enter the name Smart Diary Suite into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support SD4 files.
Programs to open SD4 file
Remember to download programs supporting SD4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Smart Diary Suite with SD4 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SD4 file to open in the Smart Diary Suite 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SD4 file with the Smart Diary Suite program.
Step 3. Update Smart Diary Suite to the latest version
If, however, after binding Smart Diary Suite with Smart Diary Suite Database there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Programming Sunrise website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SD4 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SD4 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SD4 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SD4 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SD4 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SD4 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Programming Sunrise, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SD4 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.
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. It is best to move SD4 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SD4 to close. 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.
