Unles you want to permanently lose the toolbar you have to set the database startup properties to hide the toolbar.

When you start Access the default bar shows until the MDB loads. You can't interact with it during that time but it looks messy.

You might be able to put code like the above in a VB script and launch your app from the script, thereby getting the command in before the toolbar gets displayed. I can't remember the exact syntax but something like

dim appaccess as new("access.application&quot
appaccess.commandbars("menu bar&quot.enabled=false

might do it. You then have to set it back after the MDB has loaded but before the script ends.
