Suppressing Future Version and Recovery Dialog Boxes

Hi all,

I'm trying to read some files programmatically with OO v2.4.x. However, as it runs silently in the background without user input, it sometimes hangs at some dialog boxes. 

1) I can't seem to get rid of the recovery dialog box that appears to prompt users on whether to recover files. 
2) Also, if there's a file from a later OO version, there's also a dialog box that pops up to asks if you want to upgrade or postpone to later. I would like to know how to suppress these. 

I've tried running soffice.exe with the "-norestore" and "-headless" switch and it doesn't seem to work. I'll really appreciate any advice to solve any of the 2 problems. 

Thanks.



Cheers,

Wei Min
