Get Data for ArcPad crashes ArcMap

I am using ArcMap 10.0 with an ArcInfo license.  I am using ArcPad version 10.0.

I am setting up field maps for our crews to go out and gather data, including data points.  I have made a very simple feature class in a personal geodatabase.  Whenever I try to use the Get Data for ArcPad to export this layer as part of the map for the crews to use, ArcMap crashes without any warning or error messages.   If I don't include this layer, the rest of map will export into .apm format just fine.  If I try to edit the feature class in an edit session in ArcMap it works fine. 

This process worked fine earlier this summer, but no longer does.  The problem seems to coincide with my upgrade from ArcView to ArcInfo, but I'm not actually sure if doing that and this problem are correlated at all.

I know sometimes it is a problem if the feature class is too large, but mine only contains 1 additional field from the defaults, a 50 character comments section.

Any suggestions for why this crash could be happening?

A lot of times creating a new MXD will solve this issue.  If you open a new MXD next to your current one and just drag all of the layers over to the table of contents of the new one, this will preserve your symbology as well.  Save it and run the Get Data for ArcPad wizard again.
