"A data file did not close properly" when Outlook 2007 is opened

[Jen444]

Hi,

Please help. I have seen a few post about this error but nothing I have
tried has helped.

Each time I open outlook a balloon pops up my task bar with the following
message:

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

Then the message quickly dissapears before you can even read it properly and
outlook closes automatically.

I have tried almost everything that I can think of or that has been
suggested to me by others and I have had no luck.

FYI: I am running Windows XP Professional and have the Microsoft Office Small
Business 2007 w/OfcPro 2007 Trial (for MEA) (OEM).

Something appears to be keeping Outlook open. See if something here helps:
