Identification

• A file with the .fdb extension may be a Portfolio catalog, an Art Explosion catalog, or a Microsoft Dynamics NAV database file.
  
  

Source

• Portfolio catalogs are created by the image organization program Extensis Portfolio. Art Explosion catalogs are used by the clip art program Art Explosion by Nova Development. A Microsoft Dynamics NAV database file is created by the business management program Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
  
  

Function

• Portfolio catalogs contain a list of all the images organized with Extensis Portfolio, while Art Explosion catalogs contain the entire collection of clip art files in Art Explosion. A Microsoft Dynamics NAV database file contains financial information.
  
  

Features

• Both Portfolio catalogs and Art Explosion catalogs contain thumbnails or small images that provide users with an idea of what each file saved by the software program looks like. A Microsoft Dynamics NAV database file may contain bank account reconciliation information, profit or loss reports, budget analysis, expense tracking, or any other type of financial report created with Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
  
  

Considerations

• Because the .fdb files are required for their respective programs to function properly, never delete a Portfolio catalog or an Art Explosion catalog from your computer.
