Outlook 2007 message 'data file did not close properly last time used'

Question

Is anyone getting this message upon launching Outlook 2007 after a PC shut off the night before? In talking to Dell support, only idea they have is I shut off the computer before Outlook has a chance to fully close. I usually exit out of Outlook as the last task before I shut off the PC. Last night, I gave it plenty of time after closing Outlook before I shut off the PC and this morning, I got that message. The message only appears periodically and not every day. Outlook seems to resolve the data file error, so there is no impact other than an annoyance. Any one else getting this message and offer any solution?

GeoB: Yes I am getting the same message, except that in my case it is worse. Outlook gives a 'a serious mistake was found and outlook must close' message. Oultlook shuts down and when I start uo again it loops into a series of the same mistake. Then it ask if I want to repair MSOFFICE and it fixes itself. Then without notice it happens again.   Please, does anyone have any suggestions.   It is annoying, I think I may have a bad installation, so I will try to reinstall.   Thanks in advance
