[AccessD] Access 2003 database in Access 2007

That looks like what I use.

Do all your forms have your custom menu bar assigned to them?

  I call the code below from the Open event of the first form that 
  opens when the app starts.  I have just tested it on Access 2007 and 
  am still seeing the ribbon.  My custom menu is showing in the Add In 
  tab.  Am I doing something wrong?

  Public Sub basSetProperties()

       basSetProperty "StartupShowDBWindow", dbBoolean, False
       basSetProperty "AllowShortcutMenus", dbBoolean, True
       basSetProperty "AllowFullMenus", dbBoolean, False
       basSetProperty "AllowBuiltinToolbars", dbBoolean, False
       basSetProperty "AllowToolbarChanges", dbBoolean, False

       basSetProperty "AllowSpecialKeys", dbBoolean, True
       basSetProperty "StartupShowStatusBar", dbBoolean, True
       basSetProperty "UseAppIconForFrmRpt", dbBoolean, True

       basSetProperty "AppTitle", dbText, "Ribbon Test"
       basSetProperty "StartUpMenuBar", dbText, "MenuBarMenus"
    '   basSetProperty "AppIcon", dbText, "C:Prog\LTD.ico"

  End Sub

  Public Function basSetProperty(strPropName As String, varPropType As 
  Variant, varPropValue As Variant) As Long

       On Error GoTo Err_basSetProperty

       Dim db As DAO.Database, prp As DAO.Property
       Set db = CurrentDb
       db.Properties(strPropName) = varPropValue
       basSetProperty = True
       Set db = Nothing

  Exit_basSetProperty:
       Exit Function

  Err_basSetProperty:
       If Err = 3270 Then        'Property not found
           Set prp = db.CreateProperty(strPropName, varPropType, varPropValue)
           db.Properties.Append prp
           Resume Next
       Else
           basSetProperty = False
           MsgBox "SetProperties", Err.Number, Err.Description
           Resume Exit_basSetProperty
       End If

  End Function
