Can access be started in a safe mode?

I won't go into the details, but needless to say I think I barfed up an Access project I've been working on with some VB coding. Anyway, I have a something in my form load event that is causing a run time error. So, whenever I try to load the project in Access, the form comes up (because Murphy's Law says its' the main form on startup), then the run time error, than Access shuts down.

Is there a way to get Access to start in Design mode or safe mode or something so I can delete the offending code, or am I stuck in this perpetual loop forever? :)
 
Trying holding the Shift key down when you start the db to bypass startup actions. Then from the database window, open the form in design view and make your changes....
