Making an Access 2007 app more professional looking.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to deploy and make my Access
2007 application more professional looking. The database is readonly
so I'm thinking I can save it as a .accde file and give that to the
user. I'd like to be able to disable and hide the ribbon and all menu
commands. I really only want to display the forms that I have created
if possible. Also any tips on how you display your forms would be
appreciated. Do you always have them maximized to fill the screen,
etc?

I don't want to split the database or use Access runtime.

Just execute a

DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo

If you execute the above, then the ribbon, office button, everything will be
hidden...

However, making something look more "cool", that really just a matter of
your taste, but I recent thread of mine at UA has some good suggestions

At the end of the day, really, it really a blank canvas, and whatever kind
of look and feel you want is very much of your own doing and choice.

Be creative!
