HELP URGENT - cant open my database due to expression

[CarrieStory]

I tried to use a maximize on open expression in a form. I couldn't get it to
work. I think I deleted it. I was also trying to set open form on start up
(in tools start up). I picked the form and thought everything was OK. I
closed the DB and now it won't open. I get this message: the expression On
Open you entered as the event property setting produced the following error:
Invalid outside procedure.

Hold down the Shift key while you're opening the database to bypass the
startup feature.

Open the form in design view and find the Open event on the Events tab. My
guess is that you have some expression on that line - Access is expecting
[Event Procedure] or the name of a Macro (or a few other rare possibilities).
Just erase it and try again (for maximizing I'd probably just use the Macro
Builder).

Best to go to your back up database.

If you don't have one, create a new database.
Import all of the objects from the old database EXCEPT that form.
Then recreate the form in the new database.

Make a backup database.
