How to open TPSDB file?

The main problem with Print Shop Project is that the TPSDB file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that TPSDB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TPSDB 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 Print Shop

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Print Shop is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Print Shop in it.

Programs to open TPSDB file

Remember to download programs supporting TPSDB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Print Shop with TPSDB files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TPSDB file still does not use the Print Shop program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Print Shop application as the default for handling the TPSDB file.

Step 3. Update Print Shop to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Print Shop program with the Print Shop Project file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Br?derbund Software, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TPSDB 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TPSDB file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TPSDB or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected TPSDB 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 TPSDB file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TPSDB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Brøderbund Software, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TPSDB 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. Copying the TPSDB file to another location will fix the problem.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TPSDB file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
