Hi, thanks for the great work !!

I had an issue after my pc was shut down ( because of electric black out ) and after that i open the .ods file i use as a calendar and it was empty !!!!
the file was open just before the black out ... is there any way that i can restore my file ?

thanks in advance !

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Sadly, not much to do. See: [Tutorial] The Dreaded Pound Signs: file reduced to ####. Good luck. I hope you had backups.
Note: LibreOffice does not suffer from this problem. See [Tutorial] Considering a Switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice? Some Useful Information.

If you have checked Always create a backup copy under Tools | Options | Load/Save | General then you may be able to recover that backup. It will be in the path shown under Tools | Options | OpenOffice | Paths.
