Argh! This is a weird one. A user complained that their data in a text field had disappeared. When I looked at the app the text <Long Text> was in the text field. This was also the text value in the database (confirmed using Query Analyzer that it was not long text, but actually the charcter string <Long Text>). So it appears that the user hit save again on the screen and updated the field with the text <Long Text>. But how did <Long Text> ever show up in the first place!? It had to be either on the read or the update (not sure which). I cannot find any reasonable explanation and as far as know, no error swere genreted during the transactions. Any clues?
