Does anyone know a way to disable the compatibility checker for Office, or in
particular Excel.

We have an application that runs overnight and generates a new excel (xls)
file.
Every morning we find the compatibility checker waiting for us to press
continue before the application can complete.

Having searched for a solution I've tried changing the default save format
to Excel 97-2003 Workbook (*.xls) but it didn't work for me! (has anyone else
found this doesn't work?)
The vba snippet Application.DisplayAlerts = False wouldn't work for our
situation either as there is no VBA code involved.

Hi Andy,

I am also facing same problem. Have you/anyone found any effective way
of disabling this feature?

I tried to use this addon at 'Disable the Excel Compatibility Checker |
Excelguru.ca' (http://www.excelguru.ca/node/105)

but its now working for me.

Please share if you have anyway of disabling this compatibility
checker.

Thanks
