I have an axf file that I took out to the field months ago....I think that I imported them at one point but cant find the data.
I can open the axf in ArcPAD and see the points
But when I go to reimport nothing shows up to import.

How can I grab the points in the axf file and import them if they are not showing up in the import manager?

Thanks

Can I export to a shapefile or something....
I tried to go in and open each feature....it updates a status field automatically....
I then tried to reimport and they showed up
But when I did the import that didnt import to the feature class.....

I think its the same one....would this matter?

Any way to make a shapefile...at least then I can get them back into the GDB later.

Got the answer

Because an AXF stores the X and Y geometry of point features in individual fields, it is possible to copy/paste the AXF table from ArcPad Studio into Excel, and then replot the features in ArcMap as new tabular data. 

Got the data back into my Geodatabase and then created a new AXF file to go back to the field...
