How do I restore a File maker pro data base in time machine

I stupidly changed all fields in a data base of FileMaker Pro 11. I want to restore the date base via time machine. How do I do this?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Quit FileMaker. Locate the folder where your database file is stored. In the Time Machine menu, click on Enter Time Machine, and go back to a point before your changes. Click the database file and choose Restore.

My problem is that I can't find where the File Maker files are stored. I see nothing in Library>Application Support. Can you tell me where they are/

Maybe in your Documents folder? It should have an .fp7 extension.

There is no default location. The database would be stored in whatever folder you put it when you created it, unless you moved it later. It almost certainly will not be in the Application Support folder.

Regards.
