In the past I have been able to create shapefiles from a geodatabase for use in ArcPad 10, such that the domains are available as dropdowns in the data entry screen.  Problem is that I can't remember how I did it.  Simply exporting data from the geodatabase using ArcGIS or ArcCatalog 10.0 gives me shapefiles, but no dropdowns.  The shapefiles I created in the past include a .vbs file, but I'm not getting it now, so I suspect that the .vbs file supports the dropdowns.  I'm not interested in checking in/out the data, just want to move it around using shapefiles.  How can I create the shapefiles for ArcMap and have the dropdowns work?

Thanks!  And yes, I will document the process this time - lesson learned!

Try looking at the Quick Start Tutorial: Tree Inventory exercise to run through basic form control customization, including adding list values for a ComboBox...

Documentation FTW!!
