"can't open" isn't very informative. If you want help don't withhold
information. What makes you think you can't open it? If open is
failing what is the system telling you? Once you understand what it is
telling you if that doesn't lead you to a solution then post all you
know (i.e. what specifically is the file, what does open return, what
error do you get) when you ask for help.
