Outlook 2007 / Data file was not closed properly

No, as plain vanilla Outlook doesn't have this issue. Outlook not closing
properly is caused by an addin. Have you tried to determine which addin that
is already?

Same issue with Outlook 2003. I am using Outlook Connector to retrieve my
hotmail. When I shut down the computer I receive an "end process" prompt for
Outlook. When I reboot and start Outlook I always get the "data file not
closed properly" message. I am extremely worried that one day my file will
not come back.
