[AccessD] A2007 - Programmatically Minimize Ribbon

<< Why would

  That's because despite any overtures made, Microsoft does not consider
Access to be a professional development tool; user features first and
foremost always.  Development features are always secondary.

Agree.  In A2003 I never saw anything that could be done through the
toolbars or otherwise, that could not be done in VBA using one or another
object model.  This seems to be a real basic difference in 2007.  Why would
the ribbon be exempted from programmatic manipulation.  Why no
Application.Ribbon. Or a DoCmd.Ribbon?

All of this to get rid of something that should be directly programmatically
manipulatable.
