Outlook 2007 Data File

[Ron Boetger]

I keep getting a error that the Data File did not close correctly when
ever I open Outlook 2007. Also every time I go to close a contact it
asks if I want to save the contact.
Any Ideas what is going on?
Thanks
Ron

First thing you might want to try is to run ScanPST.EXE on your PST file to
make sure it's not corrupt.

Did that and it seemed to help with the corruption BUT still, every
time I open a contact and then close it Outlook asks if I want to save
it, even when I don't make any changes.

Thanks

Well the ScanPST.exe worked for about 2 times. The 3rd time I opened
Outlook I got the message Data File was not closed properly.

Thanks
Ron

Your getting the "outlook was not closed proerly" error because some
program is keeping outllok.exe file running even tough you close
Outlook. Even though it's a pain in the butt...Open Task manager and
verify that the Outlook.exe process is ended before you logoff\shutdown
your PC. After you verify that that is causing your problem you can
diagnose what application (probably messenger) is keeping outlook.exe
running.
