How to open SSMSASPROJ file?

The main problem with Microsoft Analysis Server Project Format is that the SSMSASPROJ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that SSMSASPROJ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SSMSASPROJ 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 Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services

In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support SSMSASPROJ files.

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services with SSMSASPROJ files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SSMSASPROJ file to open in the Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SSMSASPROJ file with the Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services application.

Step 3. Update Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services program with the Microsoft Analysis Server Project Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SSMSASPROJ file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The SSMSASPROJ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SSMSASPROJ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 SSMSASPROJ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SSMSASPROJ 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 SSMSASPROJ 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 SSMSASPROJ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SSMSASPROJ 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SSMSASPROJ file to another location.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SSMSASPROJ file again. However, some background programs may block the SSMSASPROJ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
