Nope. Hope you have a backup somewhere.
 
The canonical text component of the code for the database
has been removed from the MDE file format so you can't
convert back to MDB format.

You can retrieve the tables, if any and there usually aren't in an
MDE, the queries and the macros. But not the forms, reports or
modules.
