Hello,

I am having the same problem but your solution has not worked. I'm trying to link to a DBF table to populate a combobox drop down. I can link to the table but there are no visible options in the value and text fields. I have all the files on my local computer and I'm using Windows 7. Please help.

Yes ESRI, my PC is magical. I realize this is/was a known issue, but I don't have it on my Win7 box. Anyway, I just created a test .apl for a test shapefile and once the inital text field was deleted and a combobox used and the field specified, it was no problem to select an external table which is a simple .dbf export from SDE containing diameter values. Both the Values and Text fields could be selected no problem. I haven't tested this out on other Win7 PCs here, but I suspect I will have no problem.

Not sure if folks are not trying it with a combobox (not the issue here) or maybe not first selecting the field for the list under the general tab. Not sure really what is going on. All I can say is I don't have this issue after revising 29 shapefiles for collection as well as this last quick test. I hope this becomes a non-issue for everyone ASAP.

Thank you for your quick reply, Tim.

Olivia,

As posted above, you need to be using a computer with a Windows XP operating system. This is a known issue in ArcPad while using Windows Vista or Windows 7.

Muy Bueno Tim,

It does look like that was what they are running into.

El problema que estamos viendo es un error y que ha sido registrada con los nuestros desarrolladores para ArcPad. Tim uno de nuestros analistas H. le ha proporcionado el número de errores y nuestros desarrolladores están trabajando en este tema. Gracias!

From the looks of it, you're running into the following bug:

CQ00312474: Fields for external list values only show on XP machines (not on Win7/Vista)

When you are utilizing a dbf table to populate the drop-down lists of a combobox control it requires that you select both the Values and Text fields (Code and Description) from the dbf table.

Unfortunately, these lists appear blank on Windows Vista and Windows 7 computers. Until this issue is resolved, you MUST select these values via ArcPad Studio on a computer with a Windows XP operating system.

Win7 64 Bit and ArcPad 10 SP3 here. I had the same problem initially, but I was first opening from a network. When I copied it locally and worked on it, I could pick my value and text fields no problem. I then copied it back to the network and now works there as well. The one thing I noticed and am not sure why, but the .apls I was working on showed all caps (the extension "apl")in Windows Explorer. I changed them back, but not sure that had any impact either way. Just something I noticed. All of our current shapefiles have external tables for all subtypes and domains. This is a pre-cursor to finally moving up to .axf, but I will use the forms I already have with some modifications. Not sure what version the OP is working in, but I can say the external tables work fine for me. I attached a couple of pics. No smoke and mirrors with these I assure you. 😄 HTH

¿Puede usted decirme qué versión de ArcPad está trabajando con, y es que esto se haga dentro de un cuadro combinado. ¿O llamar a este cuadro de un campo, que son capaces de darme un poco de información.

Translation:

Hopefully some charitable soul can read this: when I call a .dbf table, the table Value or Text fields not visualize in any way.
