Hi,
A variation of this question has already come up, but... New to arcpad and running into a problem.
I have a geodatabase with a variety of subtypes (for instance 'Photopoint', 'Recreation', and 'Sign'). For a particular field, some of the subtypes have defined text coded domains ('Recreation' has [trail features, campsites, corral, etc.], 'Signs' has ['Trail', 'Boundary', etc] and others do not (e.g. for 'Photopoint' I'd like users to input their own text; it has no specified domain). In desktop, when creating a new feature, I'll select a subtype and the field for each subtype will allow me to choose from a dropdown menu for subtypes that have domains or enter text for those that don't.
When I check this geodatabase out for editing in arcpad as an axf, dropdown menus for subtypes with domains work great. But for subtypes without specified domains in which I'd like users to be able to input their own text, the field remains a dropdown combobox type thing and stuck at null.
Is there a way to solve this? ESRI's help for DomainFields says "The DomainField control also automatically switches between different domains (that is, no domain, range domain, or coded value domain) when governed by a subtype field associated with another DomainField control." suggests to me that we should be able to edit a DomainField with no domain as text just as in arc desktop, but I sure haven't been able to find a way to do this!
Thanks!
