For more information, please refer to ArcPad Help &gt; Data Management &gt; ArcPad Data Manager for ArcGIS &gt; The ArcPad Data Manager toolbar in ArcGIS &gt; </SPAN><A href="http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcpad/10.0/help/#/Get_Data_for_ArcPad/00s100000068000000/">Get Data For ArcPad</A><SPAN>.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>[ATTACH=CONFIG]17120[/ATTACH]</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>When checked, the Open Layer dialog box is displayed, allowing you to choose an existing Layer Definition from a shapefile or ArcPad AXF file to be used as a template. This allows you to reuse forms, scripts, icons, and other layer definition elements.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Cheers,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Denise</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 21 Aug 2012 13:15:00 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcpad-questions/apl-file-not-transferring-to-axf/m-p/214687#M1585 DeniseKing 2012-08-21T13:15:00Z
