Data Abstract driver

File type category:
Various data file

Date updated: October 7, 2026

The .dad file extension is associated with Data Abstract, a data-access tool from RemObjects Software. Data Abstract supports several development frameworks and run-time environments, including .NET, Cocoa and Delphi.

A .dad file contains a driver for Data Abstract. The driver is used as part of the software's data-access infrastructure and is not normally opened independently.

This format is intended for use with the Microsoft Windows version of Data Abstract.

How to open dad file?

Open a .dad file through the Microsoft Windows version of Data Abstract or the application that uses the corresponding driver. It is not normally a document that can be viewed meaningfully in a text editor.

If Windows does not recognise the file, install or configure the appropriate Data Abstract software and use the file as a driver component rather than trying to open it directly.

How to convert dad file?

A .dad file is a driver component, so it normally has no useful standalone conversion to another file format.

Keep the file with the Data Abstract project or application that uses it. If data must be moved to another format, use the relevant Data Abstract application or data source to export the data instead of converting the driver file.
