<pre>Apologies for the late answer.
My MacOS Time Machine saves daily backups of my documents, so I can search in
the backup files.
What I did was I looked into my backup disc to find older copies of the
database. I opened all the daily backup files until I found the last one to
open correctly as *.odb, and re-entered manually the missing data, then
re-saved with a different name.
The new version of the database is now working correctly, opening normally as
*.odb.
But the old version of the database that prompted me to write to you still
opens as *.odt.
So my question at this point is no longer about restoring the database.
It is whether my problem with the database was a one-off specific to my system
or if this is a hidden bug that may affect others.</pre>
