After upgrading to Outlook 2007, I get a data file error every time I open Outlook. The exact error message I see is "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." After a few minutes, I see the error message "Data file check complete." I'm communicator 2007 update package guessing that Outlook is checking for errors, and since it doesn't find any, does not repair them. But if there isn't a problem, communicator 2007 update package that is dated october 24 2008 why does Outlook keep checking in the first place? --Tara Tara, several others have run into the same problem that you describe. I have also personally had to work through this issue as well. When Outlook continually looks for https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/d2a715fb-0e22-4520-9ddf-d476392a45ef/outlook-data-file-not-closed-properly-the-file-is-being-checked-for-problems?forum=exchangesvrclientslegacy data file errors, that's because Outlook believes there is a problem. However, to repair any errors, the data file -- more specifically the Outlook .pst file -- needs to be offline. So to correct the problem, you will first need to determine the location of your Outlook pst files. To do this, follow these steps: In Outlook 2007, click the Tools menu and select Options. In the Options dialog box, click the Mail Setup tab and then https://mcpmag.com/articles/2007/06/05/repairing-outlook-2007-data-file-errors.aspx click the Data Files button. In the Account settings window, you will see all of your personal Outlook data files listed. Here, you want to note the full path to each data file. On my system, my Outlook personal and archive folders are stored in the C:\Documents and Settings\Chris Wolf\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook folder. Once you have this information, close the Account Settings dialog box and then close the Outlook Options window. Now that you have the location of your Outlook data files, you need to check and repair them using the Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 Inbox Repair Tool-SCANPST.exe. By default, you should see SCANPST.exe in the Microsoft Office installation folder's "Office 12" subfolder. On my system, SCANPST.exe is located in D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 12. For additional information on SCANPST.exe, take a look at the Microsoft Knowledge Base article, "How to use the Inbox Repair Tools to recover e-mail messages in Outlook 2002 and Outlook 2003." To check and repair your Outlook data files, follow these steps: First, close Outlook 2007. Use Windows Explorer to browse to SCANPST.exe, then double-click it. When the Outlook 2007 Inbox Repair Tool opens, click Browse and navigate to the Outlook data file location that you found earlier. Note that you will need to check each file listed. On my system, I start with the file archive.pst. To check that file, you would select it in the

Advertisement Tyler23 Thread Starter Joined: Apr 29, 2006 Messages: 92 Hello, To start off the computer in question is running Windows XP and Microsoft office 2007. I am in the process of resolving this issue as stated http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/itanswers/the-data-file-mailbox-userid-was-not-closed-properly-this-file-is-being-check-for-problems/ in the title that the user did not come across until recently when Outlook had locked up on him and he was forced to improperly close it down. The problem im coming across is that everytime he starts outlook it data file takes the system around 45 minutes just to analyze the data file all the while not being able to do anything at all in Outlook. The long loadup time I understand because he has an amazing 81,000 emails. The problem arises after the check is finally completed, Outlook opens and as soon as I attempt to erase files immediately, he begins receiving the emails that he has missed out on for the past week which is around 150 MB. This in not closed properly turn causes Outlook to lockup for some unknown reason and became a vicious cycle. We then opened up outlook in safe mode and deleted about 60,000 emails, then reopened outlook and managed to receive a few days of missed emails. During this process it locked up again and we are back at step one and waiting for it to analyze the data file which is actually taking longer than previously stated when the file was much larger. Any suggestions would be great, I've done a lot of searching around and couldn't find an answer I found sufficient to my own personal problem. I have always had success asking you guys here so thanks ahead of time for anything that you can contribute.

Following Follow Microsoft Outlook 2003 Thanks! We'll email youwhen relevant content isadded and updated. Following Follow Microsoft Outlook error messages First off I'm running an MS exchange 03 server and the client is MS outlook 03. The question I have is that if a user starts a search using the find now options in outlook on a very large mailbox and then decides to close outlook without waiting for the search results, is this considered not closing outlook properly, resulting in the file is being checked for problems dialog box? Any consideration given this issue will be greatly appreciated.
