When I checked it out, the problem is actually on the document load. The user loads the document into Word from the affected doc lib, and when you check the properties in word (file-properties with that poor-mans document info panel), it is clear that the metadata has not been populated from the doc lib. Therefore when they save, blank metadata is written back, hence the perception that metadata is lost. The affected user has full control access to the site, and all other doc libs are unaffected. Not only does the metadata not populate, some columns are not even displayed in properties dialog. I log on as a different user, and suddenly I see the metadata, as well as additional columns. If the affected user logs in via another PC, the issue remains. Try any other document library on the site, and it is all fine. SP2 was installed 3 weeks ago and that seems to be around when users first noticed the issue. This is a pretty stock site who have been running happily for a year now. No naughty customisations, happy logs, good response time and no memory leaks. Has anybody else seen this one or similar behaviour before? It's a new one for me...
