Rocky,
I also had the problem of getting rid of the navigation pane and ribbon
menu for a client.

I solved it like this:

You can get rid of the ribbon if you have a custom menu for your application
as follows:
Open your database with Access 2003 and set the Startup Options:
Menu Bar = "Name of your Menu"
Allow full menus = FALSE
Allow built in toolbars = FALSE
Allow toolbar Menu Changes = TRUE

This will hide the ribbon and show your toolbar when the database is opened
in Access 2007.

You can get rid of the navigation pane by unticking it in the Access Options
- Current Database - Navigation. You find that by clicking on the office
icon in the top left corner and selecting "Access Options'.

Hope this helps. If you don't have a custom menu in your app it may be worth
creating a little one with a couple of options.
