| RemObjects Data Abstract Driver Format | RemObjects | Database Files |
The DAD file extension is related to the RemObjects Data Abstract technology from RemObjects Software B.V. It is a Windows database driver file that provides a bridge between business applications and databases like Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and IBM DB2. The file stores connection information including credentials and security data which is then utilized by the software application in order to access the target database.
Purpose of DAD Files
The purpose of DAD files is to provide the connection details which facilitate an efficient, secure and automated way for applications developed with the RemObjects Data Abstract technology to be able to seamlessly access the data stored on multiple databases.
These driver files enable applications in different environments to have direct access to remote databases, eliminating the need for manual data entry. Besides providing the credentials needed by applications to connect to different databases, these files also secure user data with strong encryption.
Related File Extensions
The DAD file extension is related to several other program used in data management tasks such as: .RET, .ROD, .FLX, MIDX, RMDF, RMIMPREFIXFILE, RMTAGS2, and many others.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DAD) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .DAD extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .DAD file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .DAD extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .DAD extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DAD file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DAD file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .DAD file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DAD file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .DAD file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
