Scott ,

this is not a odb file , its comming from a older oo version (1.2) could 
be a swx, sxc, sxd, but as far as i know there was no database for 1.2

Hi Fernand, Scott,

It is, was, an ODF database file it seems.

The physical file structure, however, is corrupt.

Using zip -FF, two times, gets some parts in readable shape:
a couple of forms, well enough to tell the name of the woman that
created them, date last edited, etc. That it was created with LibO 3.3
on 32bit windows. I can pull the control types, the field names they are
attached to, etc. - so one could salvage forms fairly easily, IMO,
didn't actually try moving them to a non-corrupt, new, file.

The _data_ however - some, or all, may be there, at least there is a
241K block of bytes left after the two forms and manifest.xml and a
couple other files are accounted for. However trying to recover any of
that would be a rather more laborious endeavor and quite frankly
costly...so unless this is some rather valuable stuff..I'd call it a
bin_bucket case. 

For what it's worth if you are still using LibO 3.3 I would really
recommend upgrading to 3.4.5 today!

Best wishes,

When I try to open this file: http://db.tt/CN65sXtn
I am presented with the Filter Selection dialog, from which I choose 
ODF database.
I next get a 'General Error'.
Clicking on 'Tables' gives:
    The connection to the data source "Books' could not be established.
    The driver class " could not be loaded.
Clicking More gives three errors
The connection to the data source "Books' could not be established.
    Error code: 1000  The driver class '' could not be loaded.
    SQL Status: HY000   The driver class '' could not be loaded.

and the file remains inaccessible.

One day the file worked and saved without problem. The next day it 
does not open on any machine.

A similar database opens without problem.

Is there a way to recover this file?
