" In which case import the table definitions from a backup of your database.
See the Options button in the Import Objects dialog box. Then you can cut
and paste the data into the tables."

I can't figure out how to do this. I create a second table with only the
definitions (empty table - looks just like the first), using the Option for
this from COPY. Then I Select All and Control/C in the first table, but
when I go to the second table's window, there's no PASTE option, and
control/V does nothing. Validations prevent me from creating empty rows.

What am I doing wrong?

The quote above is from an excellent article, recommended to me in another
posting http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/corruptmdbs.htm. It's already been
helpful.
 
You should confirm the records are in the clipboard. You can usually select
Paste Append from the Edit menu.
