.obd File Extension

Developer: Microsoft Corporation
File type: Data File
You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .obd. Files with the file extension .obd can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .obd files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .obd file?

The OBD file extension is known as Office Binder Document which was developed by Microsoft. It is a file format used by Office Binder, a program used to link common Microsoft document file types together. It stores a "binder," which includes a collection of Office document objects and used for linking document content together from Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project, and Visio files. Office Binder is included with Microsoft Office 95, 97, and 2000, but it is no longer supported in newer versions of Microsoft Office. Microsoft provided a downloadable tool called Unbind, which can still open OBD files in Microsoft Office 2003. Files in OBD format can be opened with Microsoft Office 2010 and Microsoft Office 97 Unbind Utilities in Microsoft Windows platforms.

how to open a .obd file?

Launch a .obd file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .obd file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .obd files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .obd file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a  .obd file will open the correct application.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .obd files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.
