Windows of some description? This sounds to me like permissions have changed on the file that keeps this info. Have you updated recently? Can you find where your files are kept? On my XP box they are in C: \Documnents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\<app>\ if I remember correctly. On XP this directory is by default hidden so be prepared to change settings in Windows Explorer. Check perms of the <wherever>\user/\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\Common.xcu which is one of the files that keep history. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
