Hi,
Check work with messages, therefore, you can not switch of messages. 
What you can do is, to prevent messages beeing printed. This can e.g. be 
done by clearing the value of $Messages (do not forget to store away the 
content the old value of $Messages). $Messages is a list of streams to 
which messages are sent. E.g.:
oldmsg = $Messages; $Messages = {};
To reactivating message printing, you would then say:
$Messages= oldmsg;
