Hi:

I am having the same problem. Just purchased Outlook 2007 with Business
Contact Manager. Same error message keeps cropping up.

up pops an error message telling me that:_

"A data file did not close properly the last it was used and is being
checked for problems. Performance might be affected while the check is in
progress"

Since I always close down Outlook correctly and have run Scanpst.exe to
correct any errors (in fact every time I run scanpst.exe it finds and
corrects errors!) then cannot understand why there should be a problem with
data files.

Can anyone please offer any assistance?

Are you using a new data file or is it a carry over from an earlier vesrion,
if so what version.
Do you have any third party tools/addins , eg desktop search tool, sync
software, mobile phone tools?

I just started getting the same message! How long until the check is
finished and Outlook opens without this message? It would be nice if
it sauid which file dod not close properly so that you can prevent
that from happening again.

Some common reasons why Outlook will not shut down completely when you click
either the X or Exit - this often causes the error message you see:

1. PDA synchronization software with your PDA in the cradle. (activesync,
iTunes, etc.)
2. WinFax Pro (especially 10.02 in Outlook 2003) - contact their support
for an alleged fix.
3. Franklin-Covey Plan Plus!
4. COM Add-ins.
5. Mail reminder add-ins that keep a stub of Outlook open in the background
to check for new mail and fire reminders.
6. Anti-virus/firewall programs that are set to scan incoming and outgoing
mail.
7. Skype
8. Infuzer
9. Google calendar synch.

Disable all COM addins and remove the integration with your firewall and AV.

Open Outlook in Safe mode and start/stop Outlook every time after adding
back in your add-ins one by one. The first one you have enabled and the
error message occurs again, you know what to do.
