How to disable compatibility checker in Office (Excel)

A

Andy

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.
