Maybe I'm way off base here, but it's typical to forget the "file" ...
open for access file (file reference)
I've done this myself, which is why I remembered it.

Vincent van Gogh visits his psychiatrist, a bloodstained bandage draped
around his ear (or rather, the ear that was). Dutifully, he lies down
on
the couch, his face serene, despite his physical pain. The doctor is
agitated and nonplussed. When he finds the words, he shakes his head
slowly:
"No, no, no, Vincent. I said, take a year off."
