If you backed up after you know the problem occurred, the backup
will have the problem too, presumably. You could try that in case
you did not overwrite your good backup.

At this point you might try restoring the backup file even tho it is
unlikely to help. It is easy to try. Salv.exe might be able to help.
That would be good.

For the future, in Tools-> Options-> Backup I suggest checking
x Automatically backup to hard disk on exit
x Prompt me before backing up each time*
x Make my file small ...

* This has two advantages. You can change the file name
occasionally. I like to pick a name something like money030628. Then
it is easy to change the name to have multiple backups. The .mbf
extension is automatic. The other advantage is that you can change
your mind about exiting by simply clicking the X in the upper right
of the pop-up box.
