The other tack you may want to try is using a template file. Using Excel,
create an empty workbook, set the error checking options off and then save
the file away. Open this file using POI, populate a few cells and then save
the results away again. Now, when you open the file using Excel again, what
are the results? Hoepfully, the error checking options are set and stored
and the workbook level, passed through unchanged by POI and give you the
results you require; that is hopefully however as I have never tried this
myself.
