Get Data From ArcPad does not recognize file locations

[SimonApostol]

I am trying to import a geodatabase from our office's Trimble Juno with ArcPad 10.  Whenever I attempt to use ArcPad Data Manager, I am unable to open ANY file location.  The window that opens will show available folders, but no files.  This happens on two computers, both with ArcMap 10.  Has anyone run into this before? 

Apologies if this is the wrong sub forum for this question.

Hi Simon,

Please make sure that you are taking a copy of your ArcPad Project from your device and saving it on your desktop machine before attempting to check-in your edits using the ArcPad Data Manager.

Let me know if this works,

Hannah

Thank you for your response Hannah. 

The files have been copied into a folder with an established connection to ArcMap.  "Get Data From ArcPad" does not display any files in this folder or its subfolders, not just the ones I've moved from ArcPad.  I can provide a screenshot of this if I'm being unclear.

Hi Simon,

A screenshot would be very helpful!!

You do not need to have a folder connection to ArcMap to use the 'Get Data From ArcPad' tool - but the tool is only looking for .axf files (which are created when you check-out an ArcPad Project). It will NOT display shapefiles, personal geodatabases or file geodatabases.

When I open the ArcPad Data Manager 'Get Data From ArcPad' tool, after pressing the 'Add' button (big green + in the top right corner) - I am presented with a standard windows file explorer called 'Select ArcPad File(s)'.

Using this, I am able to navigate into any folder location on my computer. When i find the .axf that i want to check-in (eg. Riverside_mdb.axf in the Riverside Sample Data Folder) - i can double-click the .axf file and this is then loaded into the 'Get Data From ArcPad' dialog to review my edits.

Could you try using the 'Get Data From ArcPad' tool on the Riverside Sample Data and let me know if that works for you?

Thanks,

Hannah

Thank you again for your time. 

For some reason the .axf file is now showing up, and displays that I have made changes!  But now when I import it ArcMap crashes, every time.  I will try using your sample file and see if the same thing occurs.
