i just started a new job in a hydro utility company. and my first assignment is to get a ArcPad system in place.
The goal of the system is for a user to go in the field with a hand held device select a pole/transformer/switch on the map and a custom form/check box style comes up and records the data on the specific equipment.
Now I have set up the forms in ArcPad Studio, and the next problem I'm having is how to link the ArcPad forms with ArcPad map, and how to save the info.
This is my first time doing anything of this sorts,
Welcome to the wonderful world of ArcPad projects. I think the first resource to help you get started is ArcPad Tutorials included with ArcPad Help documentation, http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcpad/10.0/help/#/Exploring_your_data/00s1000000tv000000/. I think you will be easily able to complete the described project by working through all of the examples. If you should get stuck and current on maintenance, please contact Esri Support so that you can work with an ArcPad specialist. Good luck!
