Will ArcPad Data Manager 10 allow check-in of ArcPad 7 edited data?

A client of ours uses ArcPad 7 on a mobile device. We are in the process of upgrading to ArcSDE 10, and upgrading all desktop users to ArcGIS 10. The client is concerned that the mobile hardware they are using won't support ArcPad 10. They are asking if they can keep using ArcPad 7 on their mobile device after their desktop software has been upgraded.

Will ArcPad Data Manager 10 allow check-in of data that has been edited in the field using ArcPad 7, and that was checked-out with Data Manager 9.3.1?

Thanks for any help!

Gary,

You should not have any problem editing (or subsequently checking in) AXF files in ArcPad 7.1.1 which were checked out using ArcPad 10.

Please keep in mind, however, that starting at ArcGIS 10 you can no longer check out feature classes to shapefile format (if it is to be checked back in). You must utilize data checked out to AXF for disconnected editing.

Thanks, Tim, for the quick response and the info. We'll go ahead and install ArcGIS 10 desktop.
