It is hard to imagine not noticing serious QB damage for several 
months. However, I will give you an ABSOLUTE GUARANTEE 
about using a damaged QB file:

 It will soon crash and NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO OPEN IT. 

Either go back to the backup files QB had you make during the 
condense, try to fix the file (http://blocktax.com/ QB Errors) 
or start a new file now. By the way, it is easy to export lists 
in QB and import them into a new QB file. If you do not do that
now you will not be able to do so soon.
