Just had a bit of a database scare (ODB file)

Version: 26.2.1.2 (X86_64)

Build ID: 620(Build:2)

CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10 X86_64 (build 19045); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win

Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI: en-GB

Calc: CL threaded.

I've been learning Base. All been fine for a while, but today I opened it up and it just said "General Error" and that was that. No more tables, queries, forms, or functionality, just an empty database window to start again with. Luckily I had a backup that was only 19 days older, so I added the missing new stuff and went on my merry way.
But... What is a "General Error", and what might I have done to cause it? I do access this database from another LAN machine sometimes, and had just done so about an hour before. Is the old file useless now, or is there a way of repairing it?
Either way, from now on I'll keep more frequent backups.
