Lotus Symphony (1.0) Failure

24 Oct

Needed to resurrect some old documents and convert them to Word or ODT. Attempts to open or create a new document in Symphony would give an error…

“internal error has occurred: GetStorage, name ‘No Content!'”.

Thanks to Mindwatering.com for having the answer.

The file common.xcu OpenOffice/Symphony file has corrupted because of a crash while Symphony was running. If you have a backup, restore it. Otherwise, you can delete the folder: ..\install program directory\data\workspace\.sodc

When you delete this folder, Symphony will automatically create new preferences from default. (Yes, you will lose any customizations.)

Found my file at: DIRECTORY_WHERE_INSTALLED\IBM\Lotus\Symphony\data\.sodc

\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office

Renamed the file NOT the folder (just in case that was NOT the right one file) and then restarted Symphony. Once open, was able to create a new document and perform other functions. Back in business!
