[AccessD] A2K: Oh, BROTHER! Have I screwed up or not?

Dear Group,

I've been working on a complicated module over the past three days in
Access 2000. I was working in the VBA IDE and I had two module windows
open as well as the Project Explorer.

There was a bit of code that I wanted to delete in one of the modules,
so I highlighted it with my mouse and pressed the Delete key. Instead
of the bit of code being deleted, the other module that was open in
the IDE was deleted! It no longer appears in the list of modules in
the Access Database window.

I checked the Options and, sure enough, I had un-checked the option
for warning of Document deletions...but Jeez! How can a document be
deleted if it isn't active?!?!

This, of course, blows maybe a day-and-a-half of work out the window.
I have a backup from Wednesday night.

I have not yet closed Access. I am contemplating turning off my
computer without closing Access in the hopes that the module will
re-appear. Is this an option or am I facing re-doing the work?

Egad! I have NEVER done this before. Is there something goofy about
the Access 2000 Project Explorer that I don't know about? When I
selected the code to delete with the mouse and then released the mouse
to press the Delete key, did I then somehow push the mouse over to the
Project Explorer and phantom-click on the other active module before I
hit the Delete key? This is creeping me out, besides the fact that
this is all under deadline.

Should I try turning off my system?
