Draft Pool creation/Historical Database issue

Hoping to get some help with this.

I am fairly new at running leagues, and I've taken the reigns as a co-commish/simmer in an online league.

It's time to reveal the draft pool...this is a random debut historical league.

I had the path to the Historical Database correct, or so I thought. I got the odb file from the old commish. He helped me through it, and we thought all was good.

Now when it comes time to create the draft pool, I get a message that the path to the database is not correct and the draft pool cannot be created.

I tried twice with the same results.

Is there a preferred place to put the Database?

I created a new folder in my Docs into which I put the odb file and associated csv files. It is NOT in my OOTP15 folder.

Also, I do not have excel or Microsoft Office on my computer. I use Open Office. Could that be interfering with this somehow?

When I open the DB, all I get is a text file, not a spreadsheet. I have tried specifically using the spreadsheet to open the file, and it doesn't work.

Any help would be appreciated so I can get the draft pool published ASAP.

Thanks.

ODB files are not fully readable databases in any program. They are proprietary to the OOTP programmers.

Im getting this error now after switching CPU's...any idea what the fix is? Ive tried moving the DB different places and still get an error. I also have Open Office instead of Excel.

Any help is greatly appreciated as my online league is dying to start drafting.
