BASE won't open

[pchestek]

I created a database in Base using only provided functionality (i.e., using HSQL). All worked fine for several months, including yesterday, but today the database won’t open. When I tried to open it either through Finder or through the LibreOffice menu, I get a filter selection box. I don’t know what to do. I have not updated either the OS or LibreOffice recently.

OS X 10.6.8
LibreOffice 4.0.2.2

Thanks,

It was not set to save backups. I have a backup that is several days old, but I was hoping to just recover the one that I have so I don’t lose so much data. Is there something other than just a corrupt file that could be going on?

Please pchestek,
take a look to this thread:

How to recover former version of document

I was working with a document, transferring it from Word to Libre office. When it asked if I wanted to save as an ODT document, over the document that already existed with that name, I thought I was just replacing the Word document with the ODT. But in another folder, there was a document with the same name, and it saved over THAT one. Is there any way I can recover the document from the other folder that I did not mean to erase??
