Thanks Kath,

Looks promising.  The site seems to be down now, but will keep trying to get
the download.

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.asp
x).

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....

Kath
