Simply list your values separated by a comma in the selected field on the Controls page of the QuickForm dialog.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If you have lots of values - you should list them in a table and then associate the to the shapefile field using the Forms Editor in ArcPad Studio.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Both of these techniques are well documented in the ArcPad Help.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>- Hannah</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 15 Jun 2012 02:39:50 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcpad-questions/blank-domain-feilds-when-i-export-to-background/m-p/608788#M4399 HannahFerrier 2012-06-15T02:39:50Z
