Hi there!

Hello, You will need to copy your QuickFields Expressions across to your Windows Mobile Device to use QuickFields. Every QuickFields expression is stored in a file called ArcPadExpressions.apx. TheArcPadExpressions.apx file must always accompany the ArcPadPrefs.apx file. By default, both of these files are located in the My Document\My ArcPad folder. If you place your ArcPadPrefs.apx file somewhere other than the default location (for example, in a project folder along with an app shortcut), ensure that you place the ArcPadExpressions.apx file in the same location. You can copy an ArcPadExpressions.apx file created in Windows to your device to use Quick Fields on Windows Mobile. Copy it to the same location as your ArcPadPrefs.apx file. Hope this helps 🙂 Hannah ... View more

Yes it does! Open up the Riverside Sample Data (included with your ArcPad installation) and look at the related tables on the Poles layer for an example. Hannah 🙂 ... View more

Hello, I think you may be looking for ArcPad Query Forms. These forms are customizable - just like Edit Forms - but are used to query your data. There is a tutorial here that may be able to help you get started. Hope this helps, Hannah 🙂 ... View more

Hi Dylan, A couple of things to try: - Uninstall and reinstall ArcPad. It is important ArcPad is installed after your ArcGIS Desktop has been installed. ArcPad is looking for folders created by ArcGIS Desktop to install the ArcPad Data Manager. If it has been installed first - these folders do not exist. - Make sure you have enabled the ArcPad Data Manager Extension in ArcGIS Desktop. Instructions can be found here. Hope this helps, Hannah 🙂 ... View more

Hello, Query Forms (the user interface on the 'Find' Tab) are able to be edited in ArcPad Studio, just like the Edit Forms used for data collection. The message you are seeing occurs when a field on a Query Form has been marked as 'Required' in ArcPad Studio. To remove this message is as easy as opening your .axf in ArcPad Studio and un-checking the 'Required' box on the OBJECT ID field in your Query Form.

Hello, You can add your tools to 2 places: #1 is the ArcPad Toolbar. Although the entire toolbar can be docked to the bottom or side of your screen - it is THE place for your tools. You are able to build your own toolbar and tools, and then hide the default toolbars, but there is only one toolbar 🙂 See here for more details. #2 is the Map Navigator. This is the on-map set of tools (zoom in/out, pan and full extent). By default they are use-once navigation tools - but you can customize the Map Navigator to use any other ArcPad tools. See here for more details. You are not able to create tools in ArcPad outside of these areas. Hannah 🙂 ... View more

Hello, You could look at Quick Fields - it is an easy way to pre-polulate your fields with data when you open an Edit Form (without writing code 🙂 ). You can use Quick Fields to insert text, values, calculations and other properties (eg. GPS, Date/Time, Incremental ID's) into your data. Then you can build an expression for each field officer that will insert their name into the specified field whenever they create a new feature. If you are feeling a little more adventurous - you could try using this Login Form Applet  which allows you to store the field officer name as an attribute and pass it into your Edit Forms using the onLoad event. Hope this helps, Hannah 🙂 ... View more

Hello, When using features services, ArcPad is only able to download features that are located within the INITIAL EXTENT of the feature service. You can inspect this extent by accessing your feature service using a web-browser. Hope this helps, Hannah 🙂 ... View more

Just a quick observation (based on the previous comment) on the camera on the Juno 3D - the photo preview looks awful on the small screen, but once back in the office we found that the pictures taken with the Juno were some of the best (compared to a few other Windows Mobile / Windows Tablet devices). I wasn't expecting much after seeing the previews in the field - but the photos taken on the Juno devices were most excellent. Hannah 🙂 ... View more

Hi Jonathan, I have not seen this particular error message before and our testing with the Juno 5 has not produced this error, but I do have some tips for troubleshooting your data: - If you can, try opening your project on a few machines like Windows Desktop or any older Windows Mobile Devices. Does this make a difference? - Try opening a blank map then adding the axf to the map. Do you get the same error? - Try creating another checkout WITHOUT adding the Feature Service URL to the axf. Does it open in ArcPad? - Try removing the layer that is connected to the Feature Service from your project and perform another checkout. Does this project produce the same error? - Repeat for the rest of the layers in your project (removing them one by one) to further narrow down the issue. This should let you know if you are dealing with an issue with the hardware, software or with the data. Esri Tech Support should be able to help you out if you cannot resolve the error and the answers to the above questions should point them in the right direction. Hannah 🙂 ... View more

The Photo Layer Tool is now online!! You can download it from here 🙂 This sample tool, as well as all of the ArcPad Studio Samples have been uploaded to the ArcPad Gallery (on the ArcPad Resources Page). Hope this helps! Hannah 🙂 ... View more

Have you tried using the ArcPad Lock function?? The Lock function is located in the top-right-hand side of the ArcPad toolbars. If this is too small for you, the Lock function can be added to any toolbar. I like to add mine to the Favorites Toolbar. Use the Lock to stop your screen from accepting any input except for another tap on the Lock tool to unlock the screen. [ATTACH=CONFIG]30688[/ATTACH] I find this is especially useful for capturing line or polygon features with a streaming GPS. This way, I can switch on the GPS and walk/drive around the feature I am trying to capture without having to worry about accidentally pressing any of the buttons in ArcPad. It is also easy enough to toggle on and off when traveling between vertices to make sure I don't accidentally hit the Cancel button when I am part way through capturing a feature. Hope this helps, Hannah 🙂 ... View more
