The data file was not closed down properly
I am running Office 2007 and recently upgraded to Windows 7. Ever since I
have upgraded (I think) I am getting the error 'The data file was not closed properly. Checking for problems'. This eventually resolves itself. I know that I have closed it down correctly. Any suggestions? I have checked the Add-Ins, and the only ones that are left weem to be official MS ones |

Are you syncing with a smartphone or ipod? Using any software that accesses
outlook data, like desktop gadgets? -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: New Poll: What type of email account is your main account? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=42402 "jo5030" wrote in message ...

Yes I am - I have an iPhone that is running a calendar app that synchronises
with Outlook. Do you see this happening? I will disable it and then experiment "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: Are you syncing with a smartphone or ipod?

Yes, it’s the iphone sync that causes it. Make sure you have the latest
updates installed for your version of Outlook. Generally speaking, its more annoying than anything - its rare for it to cause data loss. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: New Poll: What type of email account is your main account? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=42402 "jo5030" wrote in message ...

As an FYI - that article is not correct, especially with Outlook 2007 SP2.

The data file was not closed down properly
Further to the above, I have now removed all Add-Ins, and other apps that may
try to access the mail, that I can. There are a number of Add Ins that will not allow me to disable them (Microsoft Office Groove Proxy for Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Mobile Service, Microsoft VBA for Outlook Add-In, OneNote Notes about Outlook Items, Outlook Change Notifier, Send to Bluetooth and Windows Search Email Indexer). Do I need to try to disable these? If so, how? Outlook still claims that the file was not closed down properly the last time it was used and goes into a long review process before ending that process. I can use it while it is carrying out the review (two cog wheels appear in the bottom right of the screen) What do I do next? jo5030 "jo5030" wrote: I am running Office 2007 and recently upgraded to Windows 7.
