Corrupt PLC 5 file

Hi All
I have a corrupt PLC 5 .rsp file that I am trying to extract the tag database from.
I suspect the file was already open when the copy I have was made, so i get the ususal 'File is open or read only...work with copy' etc message, and if i hit yes it crashes RSLogix, no brings up open failure message.
If I open the file with notepad it opens OK and looks like any other PLC file.
I have tried using RSLink offline OPC browser but that doesnt work, any other ideas?
Thanks in advance

Do you have a backup file of that? If you do, you can use that to get he database out. Try posting the file and maybe someone else can open it.

Just tried and I get the same results as you do. Do you have access to the PLC to get the program from? But that's not going to get you documentation though.

Not really- it is in another state.
I do have a 'working' uploaded copy of the progam with very limited documentation derrievd from an attached HMI and some electrical drawings.
