How to open ZDB file?
An often recurring problem with Quicken Data Format is that ZDB is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that ZDB 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 ZDB 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.

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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ZDB file with the Quicken program.
Step 3. Update Quicken to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Quicken program, it is possible that Quicken Data Format requires a newer version of the program.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 Intuit Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZDB file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ZDB 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ZDB file. Sometimes virus-infected ZDB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ZDB 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ZDB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Intuit Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZDB 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. It is best to move ZDB to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 you have to wait for the session to the file ZDB to close. However, some background programs may block the ZDB file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
