Filter Selection

Post by Pemapanik »

When I open my database today I am getting a popup that is asking me to select a filter for the file. It is a odb file and I worked on it last night. When I select ODF database it'll start to open the file then give me a general error. When I go to the table area it will give another error reading, "The driver class '' could not be loaded." Am I selection the wrong filter? I created the database in Open Office.

Had you saved the file on your HD?
Can you upload it here if there is no sensitive data (see here: How to attach a document here)?

i get this same error. it occurred when i renamed the file (to back it up) then both the new name and old name files didnt open - choosing any filter selection doesnt work.

any ideas how to revert or get it to work???

Was the file closed (not loaded in OOo) when you renamed it?
Any special character in the filename? If so, try a simple name.
