Dropped Data - Merge Repl

I have a few subscribers that are complaining of dropped data in one of the
main tables that users update on the subscriber machines.  When they
replicate, the agent history indicates there were conflicts, but when I go to
the conflict viewer, no conflicts show up.

The dropped data does not occur when users hit the application via the
publisher database, which leads me to believe it's not an app problem but
indeed a replication issue.  However, with no conflicts in the conflict
viewer, but conflicts shown in the agent history, I'm unable to troubleshoot
this problem.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Can you modify your publication to set compensate_for_errors to be false?
This will prevent the errors from being wiped out.

It is troubling that they are not being retained? Conflict tables are purged
after the retention period has past. I take it that this is not the case.

Hilary,
Thanks for your help - I will see about setting the compensate_for_errors to
false.  And, yes, the conflicts are dropped from one merge to the next, but
the subscription is active for 14 days.  Very strange behavior that I've not
been able to track down the cause of...
