Hi Fernand, Scott, It is, was, an ODF database file it seems. The physical file structure, however, is corrupt. Using zip -FF, two times, gets some parts in readable shape: a couple of forms, well enough to tell the name of the woman that created them, date last edited, etc. That it was created with LibO 3.3 on 32bit windows. I can pull the control types, the field names they are attached to, etc. - so one could salvage forms fairly easily, IMO, didn't actually try moving them to a non-corrupt, new, file. The _data_ however - some, or all, may be there, at least there is a 241K block of bytes left after the two forms and manifest.xml and a couple other files are accounted for. However trying to recover any of that would be a rather more laborious endeavor and quite frankly costly...so unless this is some rather valuable stuff..I'd call it a bin_bucket case. For what it's worth if you are still using LibO 3.3 I would really recommend upgrading to 3.4.5 today!
