You cannot. They are gone, and there is no "undelete" function.

There are third-party services who will salvage deleted or corrupt
databases for a fee; the one most often recommended is Peter Miller at
http://www.pksolutions.com.

AFAIK, you cannot. Once you respond 'Yes' to the warning prompt that Access
gives you about deleting records, they are gone. If this is a *very* recent
deletion and you must have these records back, you may want to contact:

for a quote on what it would cost to recover your records, presuming that
they are recoverable.

If you use a two step delete process (recommended), you can. Make the first
step a yes/no flag for deletion. The second step is a physical delete done
by the database administrator, not the user.
