Whenever I come out of standby and then start Outlook 2007, I get a message
that "A datafile did not close properly last time it was used and is being checked for problems". It almost a minute for Oulook to start. Has anyone else seen this? |

All the time. Outlook 2007 is too new to function reliably. It has major
performance issues and is too slow to disconnect from its information store before your PC goes into standby or shuts down. I would never leave Outlook running. Make sure you exit it completely for at least a minute before you shut down or go into standby. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Marko" wrote in message ...

Unfortunately just shutting it down even several minutes early didn't fix
the problem. I now get that problem every time I start Outlook 07, even if I didn't go into standby. The worst part is that it slows down my machine for several minutes while apparently it's checking the data file. Time to go back to 2003? "Marko" wrote in message ... Thanks, I'll do that.

Perhaps you have another application running that is keeping the PST open, like a sync program. -- Brian Tillman |

Try repairing your file a couple of times manually and see what is reported.
Look to see if you have applications that might be preventing Outlook from closing completely. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Marko" wrote in message ...

Repairing the pst file did the trick!! Thank you!!
I never knew I had SCANPST.exe on my machine. .....Learned something. Outlook 07 now works as well as 03 did. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...
