  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to save the changes made to the current object before attempting to open another one. Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  Save the Current Object: Look for a "Save" button or option in the application you are using. Click it to save your changes.
  Confirm Save: If prompted, confirm that you want to save the changes.
  Open the New Object: Once the current object is saved, you can then proceed to open the new object without encountering the error.
