Step 2. Create association of Office SharePoint Designer with SPDESIGNLINKBAR files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SPDESIGNLINKBAR file to open in the Office SharePoint Designer application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SPDESIGNLINKBAR file with the Office SharePoint Designer application.

Step 3. Update Office SharePoint Designer to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Office SharePoint Designer program, it is possible that Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer Format requires a newer version of the program.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 Microsoft Corporation page and install.

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the SPDESIGNLINKBAR file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 SPDESIGNLINKBAR file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SPDESIGNLINKBAR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SPDESIGNLINKBAR 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SPDESIGNLINKBAR file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SPDESIGNLINKBAR 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the SPDESIGNLINKBAR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SPDESIGNLINKBAR to close. However, some background programs may block the SPDESIGNLINKBAR file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
