Dear Dennis, Many thanks indeed for your reply.
I just sent an email to secur...@openoffice.apache.org with the link to the file, hopefully you can see it and can donwload to file. Please let me know if there are any issues. When I try to open the file, I in fact first get prompted to type in the password, and when I do that, that's when I get the error message. So the corruption error message does not happen immediately, it does offer the opportunity to decrypt the file. Let me know please if you are able to get anything out of the file. Thanks a lot indeed for your help! Best, Adam On Sun, Feb 28, 2016 at 3:33 AM, Dennis E.
