Taking a look at the situation you described and comparing it to the IRS Instructions for Form 5695, there should not be an issue. The instructions for Section A Lines 17 a through e all state that if you check 'No', then you are not qualified to claim the credit. With the instructions putting an emphasis on marking 'No' for those lines, it would seem that it is expected more than simply leaving it blank.
Here is a link to the instructions if you'd like to take a look: Form 5695 Instructions Section A Line 17
That being said, if you find that there is an error generated that cannot be overcome as you go through the process of filing your return, please come back to provide details.
