GPS points move to one location when ArcPad is closed

Hi Folks,

I'm in the field and using a Trimble Juno with ArcPad 7.1 to collect data. When we collect point data it will all be in the right locations when we're in the field. When we go to download the data or if we turn off the Juno and turn it back on, the points all relocate themselves to the location of one point in the file. It isn't a zooming problem - we can zoom in to 0.1 m resolution and they are all on top of one another. They are definitely in the right place and spread out in the field, so we're fairly certain it also isn't a problem related to the GPS being turned off or losing signal. We are using a simple form that we created on the Juno in ArcPad to collect the data. It just has a field for the sample number. These fields are not changing when the points move to a new location; they still maintain their original designations.

Has anyone else run into this problem or have any ideas of what we can check? I can't find previous messages in the forum related to it, so I'm sorry if I'm duplicating an already solved problem.

Thanks!

Amanda

Are you running any sort of scripting or customization?

Are you doing any sort of post processing or using the Trimble GPScorrect extension?

Have you updated to the latest firmware and arcpad service pack you can?

If all else fails, maybe try deleting/renaming the "My ArcPad" folder to get rid of any weird preferences.
