Pick Lists Not Coming Through to Shapefile when using ArcPad Manager

[PatrickAnderson1]

First I'm new to ArcMap 10.2 and ArcPad 10, so I may be missing something.  I've created a personal geodatabase with several domains in ArcCatalog 10.2.  When I bring the point feature class into ArcMap 10.2 I use 'Get Data For ArcPad' and choose 'Export as Background Data ( to shapefile) make editable.'  I then copy the contents of the folder on to a Trimble Juno.  When I open the shapefile in ArcPad 10 there are no data in the picklists.  I can collect position data and manually input data into fields without pick lists.

One of the pick lists contains over 200 items.

Please advise.

I would recommend checking out the feature class for disconnected editing, not as a shapefile. When doing so the feature classes that are selected for checkout will be included in the AXF file. Then you can open the APM file in ArcPad select a feature and then the forms with domains/coded values will be available.
