Hide/Display the form ribbon on an InfoPath 2010 form

On one of our SharePoint 2010 Team Sites, we're currently leveraging a custom InfoPath 2010 form to override the look and feel of the form that's used for creating/modifying items in one of our SharePoint lists as well as perform several custom actions during the form's Save operation which is controlled by button clicks.  As a result, we no longer need the ribbon and, in fact, would prefer to remove it since it's causing more problems and confusion.

In order to hide the ribbon, you may do so via InfoPath 2010 as follows:

1. Using IE, navigate to your List view
2. Under the List Tools tab, click on the List tab
3. Click on the Customize Form ribbon item
4. Once InfoPath Designer opens, click on File -> Info -> Form Options
5. To completely remove the ribbon, uncheck the Show InfoPath command in Ribbon or toolbar checkbox
6. Click OK
7. Save the changes and publish your form

Once these steps are complete, the ribbon will no longer appear on the form whenever a user creates/modifies a list item.
