> Trying to open a Base file (that was apparently corrupted in saving), First i'll make an assumption. As you are using the latest Thunderbird on Vista you are probably using the latest OO.o. The vista dialogue box for saving has an option to untick adding of automatic file extensions. If this was done then your database may not be corrupt but misnamed. The correct extension is .odb for a database. > OO opens instead a "Filter Selection" pane, which implictly invites > one to pick a filter that handles that file type. Which if the database file was corrupt then it would not matter which filter you applied. But you do have a second chance of recovering data if you add a .zip extension and unpack the file. If it unpacks cleanly then it was likely not corrupt. As for the minor filter issue you have raised, i haven't addressed this as it is the wrong forum for RFE's.
