Try placing it in a parallel directory to the "default" one that's created upon install, name it something like "olddefault".  Then click "File > Open Database" and click on the browse button to select it.

Haven't tried it, but it could work in theory.

Then again, when you're dealing with computers, everything is in theory.

You can create a new database and then download your online collection into it so you can take a look at what it contains without ruining what you managed to recover.
