Can the "Show Full Menus" option be set with code?

Does anyone know if you can control the setting for "Show Full Menus"
through code?

This is a constant complaint from users of my applications, and being
that I support thousands of users across several applications its just
not feasible to deal with this issue person by person. I was hoping
to be able to control this on open of my applications using my hidden
startup form that I use to set other Access options.

In the VBE editor window. Search the help for 'Set Startup Properties from
Visual Basic'

Also, I found the following a while back that might get you started.

CommandBars("Menu Bar").Enabled = True
Application.SetOption "Built-In Toolbars Available", True

I am referring to the "Show Full Menus" option that is set by going to
Tools>Customize>Options tab>Always Show Full Menus checkbox not the
"Allow Full Menus" option in the Startup properties.

I appreciate you taking the time to help however your suggestion does
not pertain to the property I am referring to.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

A solution provided by another group member to me under seperate cover
was as follows:

Application.CommandBars.AdaptiveMenus = False

Use the above line of code in the load or open event of a form to set
the "Always use full menus" option.
