Symptoms:

When selecting a particular database from the File|Recent Files menu there is an error message stating “The Selected Database is not registered with the application RDS Error = 0”. This same error does not occur when selecting File|Open menu and picking the same database from the list.

Do not use database names greater than 19 characters
Always use the File|Open menu to open databases with long names
Permanent Fix:
Upgrade to the version where the problem is fixed.
