Clipped out data still displaying in Mobile project?

Hi,
Can anyone tell me why my mobile project is displaying data that I have clipped before creating the mobile cache? The clipping works correctly within ArcMap: [ATTACH=CONFIG]29397[/ATTACH]
but doesn't 'stick' when I open the cache within Mobile Project Centre:[ATTACH=CONFIG]29398[/ATTACH]
(Arc 10.1.1.0)

What are you using to 'clip'?

If you specify a full extent for the Data Frame in ArcMap and then user the Create Mobile Map tool to generate the cache, this should honour the extent set for the data frame. Depending on what version of the mobile tools you're using, you can also specify the extent in the tool.

I don't think any other way of 'clipping' in ArcMap is honoured when using the Create Mobile Map tool.

Thanks John, I appreciate your input in backing up what I have concluded.
The extents work fine, but I was hoping I could clip away any data I didn't want to see within that extent-as I do in ArcMap. I have discovered, unfortunately, that ArcGis for Windows Mobile doesn't allow that. This, along with the inability to display labels that include expressions, has been very frustrating.
