Hey Tim, To make your forms bigger, open up your AXF in ArcPad Studio, double-click on the layer and then double-click on 'FORMS'. Open up your Edit Form and select Form Properties from the Form Menu. See the attached screenshots to see the dropdown to choose the size of your forms. To make the individual controls bigger, you can select the inputs and change the width and height of the control in the Control Properties Menu. See the attached screenshot to help you increase the font for the controls using the same menu. Super-size your forms then use ArcPad on a laptop to make the most of your bigger screen! I hope this helps - let me know if you have anymore questions, Hannah ... View more

Hi Gustavo, A quick and easy way to restrict the functionality of ArcPad is to use Applet Toolbars and then create an App Shortcut. Using your example - the only tools I would need to take into the field would be the 'Select' tool to select the features and the 'Feature Properties' tool to launch the Form for feature editing. You can create a new Applet Toolbar by putting ArcPad into Design Mode and launching the Toolbar Editor. Select 'new' from the Toolbar Group dropdown and then build your Applet Toolbar with these tools (don't forget to add the 'Exit' tool too!). Make sure that the layer you want to work with is editable and save the map. Now you can create an App Shortcut that can launch ArcPad with ONLY the Applet Toolbar tools! Select a name and icon for your shortcut on the first tab, select your Applet Toolbar in the Applet Path dropdown on the second tab and uncheck 'Load Startup Configuration and Toolbars' on the third tab (Remember - make the shortcut on the device you will be using it on as you cannot copy Windows shortcuts to Windows Mobile 😞 ) Make sure that the forms for this layer only include the fields that you want to edit and remove the geography tab (to stop users updating feature geometry) using ArcPad Studio. The easiest way to disable functionality is to remove it from the toolbars! And using an App Shortcut means field workers can launch their own custom version ArcPad using an icon to easily identify their projects! Let me know if this works for you! Hannah ... View more

Hi Cam, You will need to use the 'This.Event' object to access your Related Table Forms It is not able to be accessed using the method you have described 😞 Thanks, Hannah ... View more

Hello, ArcPad doesn't have automated check-in procedures: this means that after you have collected your field data, you still need to connect your device to your desktop computer using active sync/windows mobile device center (or use an SD card) to physically copy the AXF data onto your machine. This is the AXF that you need to browse to when using the Get Data From ArcPad tool. When you say that you can see changes on your device but there are no features being checked-in, that leads me to think that you need to copy the AXF from your device and onto your desktop computer before using the ArcPad Data Manager Tools. Another couple of issues that can cause trouble when checking-in are: the name and the location of the original geodatabase CANNOT CHANGE between check-out and check-in once your edits have been checked-in, the 'flags' in the AXF that indicate changed/new/deleted records are reset, meaning that you can only check your edits in ONCE I hope this helps and please let me know how you get on, Hannah ...
