The Office Suite is meant for interactive use, and will pop up all kinds of dialogs when it sees fit. AFAIK there isn't much you can do about that. Of course you don't need the Access application, you could create your own app (with GUI and business logic) and use OLEDB and an access database file as the data store. That won't pop up anything you didn't design. :)
