Ack.  I was afraid of that.  I don't want to mess with it at all because
then I have to fire up 2007 on machine 2 and actually use it.  But the add
in looks to be not too painful.

Tks.

You might have to create a custom ribbon containing your commands and then
turn it of and on.

 Dear List:

I have these canned routines ShowRibbon and HideRibbon, which is
DoCmd.ShowToolbar and work well.  I also have MaximizeRibbon and Minimize
Ribbon which use SendKeys "^{F1}" to change the ribbon but they don't seem
to work.

In any event, the user wanted a local preference to show or hide the Ribbon
and ShowRibbon and HideRibbon work except that instead of the ribbon
disappearing he wants to have the smaller ribbon with the Office Button and
Home, Create External Data, Database tools showing but nothing else - so a
ribbon that's not so tall and screws up the real estate on the form.

But I can't get that particular ribbon format to display.  Does anyone know
how to get that?
