I think I'm screwed and will have to go and edit all over again. if the songs are there, can I just rebuild database and everything will be there or are they really gone for some reason.
I do have access, but when I opened songs.mdb, nothing came up...does this take awhile because I only gave it about 30 seconds before I closed the program.

If the Backup didn't have the information then yes it looks like you will have to edit them again. Be sure you do this in 4.09 or 4.10 now since it has just been released so the information gets saved to the KMA files.
Were the missing songs in the database (Search) but the tracks not found when you tried to play them or were they not in the database at all? If it is the latter then yes rebuilding should add them in. It may be that the last time the Back-up was built you didn't have those songs.
You won't see the listing immediately when you open Access. You have to open it, then double click on the Songs Table on the left side to open that. This may be a moot point since the hidden information is no longer there as evidenced by the fact that building the songbook showed all including the previously hidden ones. That means it isn't in the database anymore.
