The What's New In 10.0 topic in the ArcPad Studio help says related table tabs can now be hidden, but I cannot find anything on how to do it. 

I am using an editform I created myself in ArcPad 8 to edit related table records.  Anybody got a clue?  Do I have to recreate my form as an ArcPad 10 related table form to hide the tab?

Awww... You had me so excited there for a second! I was leaving work, but I had to look up where you found that.  I never noticed the "Related Table" section under the "Forms" menu. I clicked on it, and logically, that has to be what they are talking about. There is the list of all all my related forms with checkmarks beside them. I was so happy...

Then, I unchecked them all except one.

And I think we all know how this story ends. . . (spoiler: it didn't do anything, and the checkboxes just reappeared the next time that I clicked "Related Table")

Ok, I still have ESRI trying to figure this one out for me, but I think I found something that will work for the time being.

Just drop the dang table! I mean really, what is it going to hurt right?! When you open Studio, right click the .axf up at the top of the tree and click Command (You could just double click).  In the command window type:

DROP TABLE "TableName"


where "TableName" is the related table name. Then Click the Red Exclamation on the toolbar and say goodbye to that darn related table.  Now before/after this go back and make sure and delete the forms associated with the tables. I suggest before, b/c you can lock up Studio by accidentally opening the forms after the tables have been deleted.

I tested this very lightly, and it seems to work. The tab actually disappears!

I hope this works.
