Every time I start Outlook I have to wait for the databinding items to finish
before I can do anything else. Does anybody know what is databinding and why?
Is it needed, and if not how is it diasabled?

Tools -> Options -> Other -> Advanced

What add-ons or plug-ins do you have installed? When Outlook starts, it has
to load all of those before you can start using Outlook (and before Outlook
even does its first scheduled mail poll). When you exit Outlook, all those
plug-ins have to be stopped and unloaded *before* Outlook is allowed to exit
(and why it may fail to exit and remain in memory if a plug-in won't
unload). Rather than uninstall the plug-in, you can disable it and check
Outlook's behavior on its next load. If you attempted to install a plug-in
but it failed to initialize or is otherwise inoperative within Outlook, take
a look under Help -> About -> Disabled Items.

Data binding is also something done when a program wants to automatically
use Outlook. See http://support.microsoft.com/?id=291120. Do you have such
a known program? If not, time to update your anti-virus software and do a
full scan along with getting Spybot, AdAware, MSAS, online scans (which use
ActiveX), and other anti-malware tools to scan your system.
 
I unticked all the plug ins and coms and outlook still tried to 'databind' at
start up.
Is there an XP service that could cause this.
I have done a full virus/spyware scan and nothing was detected.

Well, Outlook Today does it at Outlook startup.

Well, yes. That's the only way Outlook Today can obtain the information it
does.
Can it be disabled?

Beats me. I suppose you can create your own web page for Outlook Today that
doesn't do it, but I don't know if that will stop the databinding efforts of
Outlook at startup.

Maybe changing from Outlook Today to, say, your Inbox as the startup folder
in the options would eliminate the frustration you are having at seeing this
message.

Tools -> Options -> Other -> Advanced, "Startup in this folder".

If you right-click on the root node of your message store shown in the
folder tree pane, Properties, Home Page, you'll see the HTML page that it
uses to present the Outlook Today page. Mine lists "res://C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\1033\outlwvw.dll/outlook.htm" for the HTML
page. The .htm file actually doesn't exist. It gets extracted from the DLL
file, so I can't take a look at the code to see how it works.
 
DataBinding when Outlook Starts up

This is driving me crazy and I think it has something to do with the Business Contact Manager plug in for Outlook. When I activated the plugin, starting Outlook went from a couple of minutes to ten minutes or more. Does anyone know of a way to speed it up when using Business Contact Manger? It uses a light version of SQL server and I think that has something to do with it. Help!

I had this issue after restoring my PC to the factory default again. I changed from
Outlook Today to Inbox as suggested above and that solved the issue. :-)

Thanks!

This problem afflicted me 2 weeks ago and I have tried most forum-based solutions without success.

These have included starting in safe mode, disabling firewall, full virus scan, disabling all plug-ins ( I think my problem is i-tunes but re-installing has not helped ) etc

I have (somewhat randomly) - discovered a simple but lo-tech and 100% reliable solution.

As outlook boots up repeatedly click on your inbox folder- this must be done as it boots up or you will finish (as before) in databinding neverland. It seems that this action diverts outlook away from outlook today where the problem arises
