shrug-l: Metadata not saving updates

[Thomas, Jim]

I've had similar problems working remotely using my cell phone as a
modem and VPN to access our ArcGIS network license.  The software worked
fine except for the metadata editor.  When I got back to the office
network everything  worked fine.

I have never seen this one before. My first thought would be a
permissions issue. What type of geodatabase is it? Can you add other
features or change other existing settings such as add a new field to a
feature class? Can you add metadata to other areas? What are the specs
of the machine giving you trouble?

	Happy Friday Everyone!

	 

	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.

	 

	Do not automatically update metadata is unchecked.

	 

	I cannot duplicate the mystery on another machine.  When I
import the xml document that contains all of the attribute information
(added in on a different machine) the attribute information does not
import.

	 

	I have checked my machine for viruses and spyware.  It came out
clean.  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 

	 

	I had a problem with the symbology in the ArcGIS TOC
disappearing and found that it was related to a program that was running
in the background for my new mouse.  I thought that the disappearing
symbology and the disappearing metadata may have been related but it
doesn't seem to be, I'm still having the problem with the metadata but
not with the symbology. 

	 

	Any help will be greatly appreciated.

	 

	Thank you
