Failed to open DOE Prototype

Hi! I've been using the "Create DOE Prototype Building" measure (https://bcl.nrel.gov/node/83591) to create my prototype buildings, namely Secondary School with ASHRAE 90.1-2013 in Houston. I can create the prototype, run it, export it to IDF, all good. But when I've exited OpenStudio and I try to open the file later, I get an error message from the OpenStudioApp: "Failed to open file at C:/Users......../SecSchool_Houston_Base.osm." What is going on? How do I create files that I can open later? I'm using OpenStudio 2.7.0, by the way. Thanks!
