Goofed up and "hid" Access; now the IDE doesn't show up

[TheDougmeister]

Was in a hurry and tried the first two options... didn't work for me so I did option #3 from here:

Hide the main Access window

Hide the main Access window and the database window so that the user sees nothing but your form.

and ran this code:

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Call ShowWindow(hWndAccessApp, SW_HIDE)
DoCmd.OpenForm "Switchboard", windowmode:=acDialog
End Sub

But it threw an error and I accidentally closed MS Access before I added this code:

3. Reset the Access window when the application closes:

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
Dim lngRetCode As Long
lngRetCode = ShowWindow(hWndAccessApp, SW_MAXIMIZED)
End Sub

Now when I double-click the desktop shortcut to the application, nothing happens. I have a backup from a month ago; is that the only way to recover?

Update: I found how to open in Debug mode and added the code.
