The past several days, after I save a session in a map I had regularly been updating, upon re-opening the .mxd the next morning, I've found that my .shp files are missing from under the group layer in the TOC. I am attempting to uninstall/reinstall of ArcMap, try the edit/save, reopen on another computer, among other things to see what the issue is. This is very strange and I've never encountered it before (I've moved the local version of a shapefile to another file location before and had the 'red check mark-broken link' error before, but never shapefiles completely wiped from the TOC). This is an annoyance if I have to re-upload all of my .shp files to my maps I had just edited the day before. Any ideas of what the issue is/how to fix would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Solved! Go to Solution.
Katherine,
I tried a few things, but I think what solved it was doing a 'program repair' then uninstall/reinstall of Arcdesktop. So far, it seems to have worked.

Very strange, I just experienced the same thing for the first time today! No idea what could be causing it but would love to find out!

Thanks for the update, Matt! If it happens to me again, I'll give that a shot.
