Doug - I have also been struggling with 2007 this year and I found this tool 
invaluable:

http://ribboncustomizer.clatonh.com/Main.aspx

I got it from a link sent to the list by Dan (see 
http://blogs.msdn.com/access/archive/2007/12/05/access-ribbon-customizer.aspx).

It is a free download which helps you to quickly create a custom toolbar. It 
allows you to select commands and it sets up the XML for you......one for 
reports and a difft. one for your main application might be good for what 
you are doing?

Alternatively you could just customise the quick access toolbar and pop a 
close button there....I have done that for one client. Right click on the 
QAT (quick access toolobar, select customise....) That way you could get rid 
of the ribbon. Or use the tool mentioned above to replace the ribbon with 
one of your own.

I have done both - happy to send more details if you need them but am racing 
out the door now....
