I have been using Endnote X2 on my Mac for several months, and have built a fairly substantial library (but alas, did not back it up).
When I tried to open the library today, I received the following error message: “The document “[library name]” could not be opened”. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong – and how I might fix it?
I am running Endnote X3 on Mac OS X 10.5.8 and have been using Endnote for about 4 months now and all of the sudden I cannot open my library. I have not moved any of my library folders associated with the .enl file. I also tried double clicking it in finder, opening it within Endnote and still no luck. I tried importing a source from a database online and it says could not open ______. The blank being the name of the file of the source. The only thing that I can think of that I changed was the format Bibliography in Word from Annals of the Association of the American Geographer to Geology, but as I changed it back I am still having this problem. My .enl file is 287kb, is there perhaps a 300kb limit?
I just got a new computer, downloaded Endnote X4, then transferred an existing endnote library. It won’t open it or rather says there are no entried. I double checked on old computer, looked at the transferred files and they do not differ. How do I make it read the files?
