multiple options to select

MdMoniruzzaman — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 15:23:37 GMT

Hi there,
I'm creating an arcpad form for conducting a walkability audit. In few of my questions, there are more than one item need to select.
For Example, Path Obstructions (check all that apply)
Answer Options:
1) Poles or Signs
2) Parked Cars: cars in driveways that block the sidewalk should be counted.
3) Greenery
4) Garbage Cans
5) Other
6) None
My question is, how can I customize the form to select multiple options in the same record?

Thanks,
Monir

In your shapefile or axf feature class, you would need a yes/no field for each item. In your form, you would bind one CheckBox control each to each of these fields. There is no way to add multiple items into one field in your dataset without complicated scripting solutions that would essentially sum up to some kind of delimited text string (i.e. Greenery,Garbage Cans,Other).

CheckBox, RadioButton, ComboBox, ListBox controls, in fact all standard form controls can only be bound to one field in your data and can only supply one value to that field.
