The VBD file extension is associated with the Visual Basic, an integrated development environment used for developing applications. It is the source code saved by Visual Basic in a binary form, with an advanced encoding and encryption scheme. The VBD documents can be opened and edited in any version of Visual Basic.
Structure of VBD Files
The structure of the VBD files are similar to other binary documents created in Visual Basic. They begin with a standard header, comprising of file size, version number, and other information used in the interpretation of data. Then, there is a generic file code that holds the data of application-specific resources such as forms, control array's properties, and class module's code. Finally, the content of the code modules are stored inside the VBD at the end of the document.
Settings File Extension
VBD file extension is also used for Windows Settings files, which hold multiple sections of Windows registry information. It stores user preference settings and is most commonly found in 32-bit versions of Windows, but it is also used in 64-bit versions. Generally, they are not manually edited as they are only active during a certain session.

Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .VBD) 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 .VBD 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 .VBD 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 .VBD 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 .VBD extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .VBD file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .VBD 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 .VBD file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .VBD file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .VBD file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
