Embed Commandbar into Form

I'm not sure if this is at all possible, but I'd like to be able to 'embed' a CommandBar into an Access 2003 Form.

I'd like to do this because the nature of my application is such that its forms are 'floating' so it doesn't look like it was developed in Access.

I know I can put Command Buttons on the form, which would achieve something similar, but I'd like a way to differentiate between the two types of buttons.

I'll be using it (if it's possible) to have a help menu present on some Forms.

Any ideas would be greatly appriciated!

I managed to achieve a similar effect by placing labels of a different color at the top of the form, then assign custom context menus to appear on left click. This is similar to the code found here:
