title: Cannot get the list schema column property from SharePoint list?
body: <p>I am getting this error <strong><em>inconsistently</em></strong> while working with Excel table connected to a SharePoint list. Similar issue has been reported on <a href="http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-GB/sharepointgeneral/thread/5454b84f-6af5-4d3d-9671-45aa4aa9e418" rel="nofollow">TechNet</a> and it indicates it could be due to certain column types such as Date and Time, Lookup, or Calculated ... I would like to know when and why exactly this happens? What's more interesting is the error is not consistent, it just happens randomly. 
  Thanks in advance.</p>
