Not being prompted for Outlook password

[Harold Topper]

Hi,

I'm running Vista Home Premium and Outlook 2003. I have set a password on
my Outlook .pst file via Outlook but when most of the time (99%) I start up
Outlook I am not prompted for the password. It just opens the file.
Occasionally it will prompt for the password.

Any help would be appreciated.

The OP's issue Sure sounds like OL 2002 on Vista

Gordon,

What did you mean 2002? Did you mean Outlook 2003?

Whoops!

This is an indication that Outlook is not closing properly when you think
you are closing it. See if anything here helps:

I think not. The OP is using Outlook 2003 and even if it were Outlook 2002,
the problem would be a constant prompting for password, not for no prompting
for the PST password.
