Hi :) Sorry I can't help with this problem. Can you create a back-up (ie just a copy) of the ascii file? Do you have an older copy of the ascii file and if so does that still open correctly? Hmmm, approx what file-size? Gb, Mb or kb? Has the size changed drastically recently? Can you right cli

I read in a ascii database into calc.  It is taking 97-98% of the cpu resource per htop, yet nothing is happening.  I move the cursor to a cell, big gray box, sits ther for > 15 minutes, yet I can move the window, play freecell, et. with no problem.  It seems the slowness is in LO, not the syst
