[AccessD] Turn off the ribbons programmatically

And apparently for the open mdb it 'sticks' so the user has to do it only
once.  I guess that's tolerable.

Thanks

Rocky, there's a simple keyboard shortcut that hides the ribbon -- just
double-click the active tab. To unhide the ribbon, double-click the active
tab again. But, I don't know how to do this programmatically. I tried to
record it in Excel 2007, but it didn't capture anything.
