Hi Jim ... It was a known issue with 2002 (lots of people had the problem) ... then it didn't happen with 2003 (at least not to me and most of the others in this group) ... and I'm also not seeing it happen (yet) with 2007, so that's why I suspected an add-in or something. ******************************* Linda F. Johnson Linda's Computer Stop http://personal-computer-tutor.com -----Original Message----- From: Jim Hickey FYI. I have a similar problem for years with 2002. If I give the computer sufficient time after it appears that Outlook closes (an additional = 30-60 seconds) then I don't have the problem. If I shutdown the computer = before that additional time I always get that error. While the process appears = to have ended it hasn't.
