We're using the Excel 2003 format with VFP9. On opening Excel 2003 documents in the background Excel 2010 blocks because of its Compatibility Checker requiring an answer from the client which - as in the background - can not be given.
So, is there any possibility to GLOBALLY turn off Excel Compatibility Checking feature (i.e. not just for one document after it's been opened)?
What btw. is the meaning of the following Registry value: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\Options\AlwaysCheckCompatibility, which when entered (REG_DWORD?) and set to 0x0 has no effect?
