What is a VBD file

VBD files mostly belong to Microsoft Visual Basic. Visual Basic Document (VBD) files are mainly used by Visual Basic 6.0 and similar environments. They use the Microsoft Compound file format to store multiple streams of data in a single file.
This type of file can serve different purposes:

Visual Basic Projects: They store form layouts, code snippets, and related settings for development in Visual Basic.

Dutch Tax Return Data: Some VBD files hold structured data from Dutch tax forms, used in systems like VB2013 through VB2018.

Barcode Verification Data: Other files contain data for barcode grading and verification. Such files are used in industrial applications like those based on Cognex VisionPro. For more details, see the information provided on axicon.com.

FilExt.com tip: To open or view these files, use a Visual Basic 6.0 IDE or a compatible compound file reader. More technical details can be found on Microsoft documentation.

How can I open a VBD file?

You need a suitable software like Microsoft Visual Basic to open a VBD file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your VBD file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a VBD file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
