Access 2007 Message Bar -- turn it off!

Anyone know how to hide the message bar when my Access 2007 database opens?
When my DB initially opens, there appears a message bar with a button to
publish to sharepoint. ugh.

Had to use XML to eliminate the default Access 2007 ribbon. Perhaps there's
a setting for turning the message bar off too??

There is the Application.SetOption -- tried the "Set Status Bar" to false,
but that either doesn't work in 2007, or I'm not putting it in the right
place, or it doesn't have anything to do with this stupid message bar.

TIA.
