It sounds like OOo is no longer recognising your Calc document as an OOo file. Could it have become corrupted somehow? Did you save as a .ods file? OOo documents are actually ZIP files, so you might see if WinZIP (say) can expand it. You may need to change the name to add a .zip extension. You should see a hierarchy of files and subfolders if it's still recognisable as a ZIP file.
