Garry, I'm assuming that both databases are in L7 format.
You could rename your current database (the one with the additional two months of info), then restore from your L7 backup file to the original name for your database. Using the split view option, you could compare the two files and either copy/paste or drag the information from the last two months into your restored file. It's still a bit painful but might be easier than trying to remember everything you've done in the last two months!

During a mad fit of disk-tidying, I have inadvertently over-written a Legacy 7 database with an earlier Legacy 6 version of the same database. My latest back-up of the legacy 7 database was about 2 months ago. Before I bite the bullet and restore from the backup (and lose the last two months additions), I thought I might ask the Legacy list about any special tricks or tips to recover the recently overwritten file. Any copies lurking in some cache location or in the recycle bin?
