.pst file not closed properly

[Alan Shepro]

When I start Outlook 2007, I get a message the .pst file was not closed
properly. The system seems to check out the file and then it opens. I
usually exit by clicking the X in the upper right corner or I let it close
when I shutdown.

Any thoughts??

Are you using any applications that access outlook data? This is typically
pda sync tools but there are many others that will cause problems. See
http://www.slipstick.com/problems/close.asp for some of the applications
that are known to cause issues. As an FYI, SP2 should reduce this problem
but I'm not sure when it will come out.

thanks. I think it may be due to my blackberry software.

Alan,
Yes the Blackberry does cause a problem with syn if you have a large pst
file. Try reducing the size of the pst file. We had the same problem here.
Was trying to save to many emails.

Yes, the blackberry software will cause a problem unless you close the BB
desktop before closing outlook.
