Validation fails during check out from geodatabase to arcpad

ChrisBridges1 — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 19:19:08 GMT

I am trying to check out a feature class in a personal geodatabase to arcpad (using arcpad data manager toolbar in ArcMap 10). When I try to check out, I get the following error:

"Validation failed for 95 features in the Gas_Taps feature class. The first reported failure is on feature ID 1: Field Active attribute value Y is not a member of coded value domain Active.
You must correct this before you can check out Gas_Taps."

The field "Active" is a Yes (Y) or No (N) field. What do I need to correct this?
Thanks in advance.

WOW! posted on Mar of 2011 and ESRI's 'watchful' techs still haven't posted an answer. Great tech support going on here.

Hi
Try to select by atributes, pick all the "yes" and calculate fields using the coded value domain code, not the description. Do the same for the "no".

Yes, just make sure that you don't have any blanks. If you do, select the blank features and change them all to "Null". This usually happens to me when I'm opening a project in ArcPad 10.0 that I created in ArcPad 7.1. Once you get the hang of it, you can fix this problem pretty quickly.
