I was attempting to send a bento file to myself from work to my home computer, but what I sent was a .bentodb file, and I am unable to open it. Did I send myself the wrong file?

For anybody who may have this issue in the future, the solution: You cannot open a .bentodb file if you already have one open. To switch between Bento databases: 1. Quit Bento 2. Hold option while re-opening Bento 3. Select new database 4. Repeat 1-3 to return to your original database
