Shannon, Yeah I went to fix my power port on the laptop with open office installed on it, and worsened the condition of the crack on the case. I now have the laptop torn down waiting on delivery if the LCD left rail, so I can put this thing back together. There has to be access to the file that you backed up. If nit SQL, then I would presume it is an xml or csv, that gets processed and parsed for viewing. I will go read about how the mailing list gets stored.

Date: Mon, Oct 8, 2012 11:00 Hi John, Dave, Maurice and Graham. Thanks to all for trying to help me, but I decided this morning it may be best to just start all over and create a new mailing list database (enabling backup) instead of spending more time trying fix what I messed up. I still think all of my information is somewhere in the original, I just don't know how to find it and get it back. Perhaps a project for me in the future when I am a bit more experienced with Open Office. Again, thank you all. Have a great day!
