I maintain a lot of data for a company using Sharepoint lists. I've noticed istances where I'll put data into the list using the Access Web Datasheet view, and then when I come back to update the data it will be missing. I also generate XML from those lists, and the missing data will appear in the generated XML.

It's causing a lot of extra work.. instead of just updating data, I have to re-enter all of the updated data, and then remove the old data from the XML after I generate it.

Does anyone know the cause of the disappearing data?

So.. you add the data using datasheet view and switch to view the list in standard view and your data is gone? Are you sure you aren't just looking at a view that doesn't include your data? How are you generating the XML? – Kit Menke♦ Dec 30 '11 at 15:24
No, I'm in datasheet view then as well. The XML is generated through a C# program that pulls the info from the SP list. – snowBlind Dec 30 '11 at 20:09
Not sure of the cause, but we ended up deleting the list, and then recreating it & adding the data back into it. We haven't had a problem with it since. Not sure what was causing the issues with the data list. – snowBlind Mar 28 '12 at 19:58
We actually had a similar issue lately, but it seemed to be related to changing a list column. Should we close this question or do you want to post your comment as an answer? – Kit Menke♦ Mar 29 '12 at 2:03
I am closing this for now. If you find a solution please flag for moderator attention and we will re-open it. Thanks. – SPDoctor♦ Oct 4 '12 at 18:04
