[AccessD] Turn off the ribbons programmatically

Yes, there has been a lot of annoyed Excel users regarding this development.  Agreed it has been a wonderful feature of Excel and really a gateway to programming VBA for many people over the year.  Lots of folks started to get interested in Excel via the recorder.

It still works for some stuff in XL2007, but big parts of it are broken too.  It maybe partly as MS seem keen to kill off VBA and push folks to .NET (?)  dunno.. Maybe it was just all too hard.  There is much about XL2007 that hasn't impressed me, although there are some nice touches too, but they could have been added without all the fluff and compatibility issues.

anyway... this is an Access List so I will hush up now...

Cheers
Darryl.

Are they daft? It's one of the best features!
