Photos library saved on a Mac OS Extended formatted HD will not open.

I've had my Photos Library saved to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) formatted HD for years. I was always able to open the app and access my photos this way. I tried today and am not able to open the library. I keep getting a 4302 error window. Any ideas how to fix this so I can open my Photos app? NOTE: I am running Monterey 12.6.

Double click on the library with the Option+Command keys held down and in the next window select Repair library. See if that will get it opened.
