The code below works well to suppress and restore the MS-Access window, and
only display a form when the window is suppressed. However, upon restoring
the window I can't seem to find a way to make any Menubar or Toolbar
visible. e.g.
DoCmd.ShowToolBar "Menu Bar", acToolbarYes
...has no affect. Any ideas?
