12.0pt'>I am trying to update the metadata for a geodatabase that I created. I
am trying to add the attribute information into the box labeled “Entity
and Attribute Overview Description” in the FGDC metadata editor. I type
everything in and click Save and it displays in the metadata. If I close out
or refresh the metadata, the attribute data I added in the box is gone.
I’ve tried to export the metadata immediately, but the added text does
not export. I can save changes made in other sections of the metadata editor,
such as in the abstract.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I have upgraded from ArcGIS 9.1 sp2 to ArcGIS 9.2 sp2, the problem persists. I
have checked the original xml code and it does not contain the added text. The
xml document created on the other computer does contain the added text in the
code but still will not show the information when viewing the metadata in
ArcCatalog after it has been imported. I posted this on the ESRI User Forum on
Wednesday, but still have not received any replies <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
