How to avoid repeated customization of ArcPad forms?

[YukunXing]

I checked data out (point to be surveyed) in the form of .axf for ArcPad, did some customization in Studio (some scripts, and changed the font/size of the form, moved some controls around). Things work fine for the most part.

The survey points are updated on a weekly basis, which means new data need to be checked out weekly. That's when I realized each time I have to re-do the customization for the new .axf file. The scripts are easy enough to be copied in. However, messing with the control size/positions can be tedious.

I'm wondering if there is a way to "import" all the customization to a .axf file, if the schema hasn't changed at all?

Thank you.

As part of the ArcPad Data Manager in ArcMap, you can use the template checkbox where you can set your layer to have all the functionality your previous AXG had.

Hope this helps.
