Outlook.pst Is Not A Personal Folders File Error
Versions - Outlook, OWA, POP, and IMAP Clients Question 1 Sign in to outlook.pst cannot be opened 2010 vote Every second or third time I close Outlook, when reopened, I see this message: "The data file 'Personal pst is not an outlook data file Folders' was not closed properly. This file is being checked for problems." The file check takes ten-fifteen minutes, then everything seems to be normal. The client is Outlook 2007 as part of http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/microsoft-office/fix-your-broken-outlook-personal-folders-pst-file/ Office 2007 Professional running under MS Vista Business. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Thursday, October 02, 2008 11:08 AM Reply | Quote Answers 0 Sign in to vote Hi, The underlying reason why Outlook displays this “data file” check is very simple. There is a single flag in the header of the data file that is a Boolean value (True or https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/405a0aab-9299-46bd-91ea-b1189828733d/outlook-2007-data-file-not-closed-properly?forum=exchangesvrclientslegacy False). While you use Outlook the value of this flag is constantly changing as the data file is updated. When the update begins the value is changed to False and then when the update completes the value is changed back to True (implying the update is finished and successful). So, the key to the problem is the shut down process because once the Outlook.exe process is exited this flag value cannot be changed. If the Outlook.exe process was terminated prematurely or a 3rd party add-in did not properly set the flag value to True then the flag value can be left at False. If you start Outlook with a data file where the value of the flag is False you are guaranteed to see the “data file” check. If the value of the flag is True then you will not see the “data file” check. Right now, there are a few known common causes for this issue: - Shutting down Windows before the Outlook.exe process has exited - 3rd party add-ins improperly “closing” the data file - Outlook crashing - Non-Outlook process accessing the data file http://support.microsoft.com/kb/954642/en-us http://support.microsoft.com/
