Make A2K3 use standard Windows menu appearance?

I'm now working at a company that uses automated testing, and I've made
some changes to an application that should now, still pass all
automated regression tests.

The trouble is, we're also switching from Access 2000 to Access 2003,
and Office 2003 products now break Microsoft's own rules, ignoring the
Windows appearance settings and subtituting their own special Office
menu styles.

This causes 2 annoying problems. First, all regression tests will
break because the screens don't look the same. Second, the application
will now look like an Office application when it didn't before because
it will be using Office style menus for no good reason.

Does anyone know how to tell Access 2003 to stop trying to be unique,
and use the damn Windows settings like every other Windows app?
