Why does my geodatabase not export as a geodatabase for disconnected editing

GK1 — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 17:52:19 GMT

I hope someone can help me figure out why my geodatabases do not show up as geodatabases when I click on the get data for arcpad button on the arcpad data manager toolbar.

Instead, I only get the options for shapefiles as background or as (editable or read only) or .axf files.

My drop down menus dont work unless I get the little geodatabase icons in the layer column, and I do not get the option for disconnected editing.

If anyone has ideas please let me know.

dargeo,

Check to make sure that all of your feature classes are in the same coordinate system. ArcPad does not reproject on the fly like ArcMap does so it requires that all layers be in the same coordinate system; it doesn't matter which one, just as long as they are the same. If they are the same, check to make sure that the data frame coordinate system matches the rest of the data.
