You would need to analyse the database directly and to create your own tools to dig the data out and reinserted it correctly. It's a data analysis job.

The problems would continue. Basically some of the links that need to exist are broken. While I can find some of them and make things better, I suspect it will always have issues. The best answer is to start over. I am looking for a way to start over without having to manually enter everything. I suspect htis is not possible though. Because of the creation of local values/fields/etc... It would probably be impossible.
