Hi Dave,
You are attempting to restore from the wrong file type. .mdtxnarchive is a file that tracks changes made to your data. Consider it something akin to a journal entry.
The file that you need to restore from will have a .moneydancearchive file extension.
Provided that you are using the default location for Moneydance backups, the easiest means of locating them is from within Moneydance.
Open Moneydance.
From the Moneydance menu bar, go to Help > Show Backup Folder.
In the resulting window a list of your backup files will appear.
Make sure that you know and understand this location for future reference.
Instructions related to backup are provided in the following Moneydance KB article.
