I had spent a few hours making a database and was playing around with the database options and I unchecked a few things to make it not display the toolbars or shorcut menus. I now cannot get back into the database to make changes since the toolbars are gone. Is there some way to undo this or recover the Tools menu?
 
Try pressing Shift while opening the database. This should bypass the startup options.

If no result, create a new database and insert the following code in a new module (for Access 2000 and XP make sure you have DAO 3.6. referenced):

Sub DeleteBypass()
dim db As DAO.Database
Set db = DbEngine.OpenDatabase("C:\Path\YourFile.mdb")
db.Properties.Delete "AllowBypassKey"
Set db = Nothing
End Sub

Then try opening your database with Shift pressed.

Good luck
