My address database converted to odb, but not recognized
Posted: Tue Oct 22, 2013 12:56 pm
I just got my new HP a little over a month ago and have been trying to transfer all my files into the new computer. Because the newer computers no longer come loaded with Microsoft Office products, someone suggested that I use Open Office because it wasn't going to cost me $100 for a program that Microsoft is going to want me to re-buy each year.
I started transferring files by transferring the most important file of all: my complete address book for my family and friends. But even though everything was working properly when I got the file transferred in dbase format and it got converted to odb, the file won't open when I'm trying to see If the address for one of my friends made it in there before I start making Christmas card labels this year....
Once all my files are transferred out of the old comp, it's going to be wiped by my son to be used as a game computer for his children - but how can I let him take the computer and wipe all my information out of it when your program doesn't recognize it's own file extensions, and therefore isn't going to open any of the files I've transferred over to the new computer????
