[Solved] Unable to access a file
Hello, I have a problem in which I am unable to access a file, despite several attempts to delete and reinstall the application. When I try to open a file, all I see is blinking and nothing else happens. Why? Is there an issue with my computer, or did I make a mistake? Any help?
BIG THANK YOU

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Try to reset your OpenOffice user profile.
If no change, witch to LibreOffice, much less troubles.

Re: Unable to access a file
Start opening the file, then walk away and leave it; come back 30/60 minutes later to see if it has opened. There are from time to time reports of files (particularly Calc format) taking a long time to open. If the file opens, immediately Save As under another name, in ODF (.odt, .ods etc) format.

Re: Unable to access a file
Not enough information to evaluate. "OpenOffice 3.1" is very old and obsolete. Your operating system is unknown.

Re: [SOLVED] Unable to access a file
As usual, everything seems to be OK right now. Based on the recommendation of Hagar Delest, I am now able to view the file.

Re: Unable to access a file
Hi Bill, I have OpenOffice 4.1.13, the most recent version, but I'm a die-hard fan of OpenOffice 3.1, which was the first version of OpenOffice I ever used and the one that made me a convert.

Re: [Solved] Unable to access a file
Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated!
No recompense in sight so far, don't stop praying!
I only got COVID last week, which canceled my long-awaited business trip to the USA.
At last I tested negative today, I'll be able to resume a normal life at home (no more a pariah isolated in the bedroom). Maybe I should take that for today's recompense.

You should feel lucky because the conclusion is negative for today. I hope everything is fine with you and that you're feeling great. The trip to the United States is canceled due to a valid reason that may be beneficial for you in the long run. I truly hope that you are pleased in the company of your family and friends.

I do of course! But it takes a toll to remain alone for a whole week even in my own house to prevent the spreading.
