[Solved] Error Message: operation requires elevation

Post by AZ Lizzie »

I cannot open any of my text documents or spreadsheets in my computer as I keep getting an Error Message: The requested operation requires elevation. What do I have to do to be able to open these documents. I did a search of the forum, but nothing came up. I would appreciate any information you can give me. Many thanks!

I ran Open Office as Administrator and I was able to open the one important spreadsheet I needed. Hopefully, the error message "The requested operation requires elevation" will no longer come up on other documents using the Administrator permission. Many thanks!
