Usually, this happens to me on my desktop. From my experience, it is usually because I have the .axf open in ArcPad Studio at the same time that I try to open it in ArcMap. I have also seen this on checkout if you are using a template to check-out.  You need full access to the folder where that template resides.  The only other time that I have ever received this message is maybe when I had the .axf open in ArcPad Studio when I tried to sync with my device. It usually just won't work, but sometimes it works but with issues. Basically, from my experience this usually happens b/c of permissions/locks on data. ... View more

Are you using .axf or shapefiles? ... View more

seems to be, and if all else fails, you have the power of sql behind you. No relationships right? ... View more

Try reinstalling ArcPad??? 1st open the .axf with ArcPad Studio. Right click the feature layer. Show Data. Is the AXF_Status really null? It shouldn't be whenever the AXF_status is not null. If this is the case, I would assume that it is ArcPad. Try reinstalling it? And you can still right click, export data as shapefile. ... View more

You cry. The link will not break. It just can't. As long as you have a geodatabase in the same location that you checked out, all is good. You can even delete the GDB and put a new one in its place and it has worked for me. Now, if you were to change the location of the GDB, you might be able to go into the .axf and change the checkin GDB, but I haven't tried it. The .axf is just a SQL compact file. You can go into ArcPad Studio and snoop around all of the tables and find the connection string to the GDB. That might work, but I'm not sure. If all else fails, you can just export the data as a shape file and import it into your GDB. ... View more

if you build statistics on them they are horrible, otherwise they are wonderful. ... View more

I am having a similar issue. Trying to install the ArcObjects SDK for .Net so that I can create an add-in from VB.Net. I am using VB.Net Express. I can get the add-in templates to show up in 2008, but not 2010. Do I need to uninstall 2008 so that it will install to 2010? BTW, I had to uninstall/reinstall 4 times before I could get the templates to show up in 2008. I finally had to check the VCPP and Samples to get it to actually install anything even though that I am only concerned with the VB. Edit: I am using ArcGIS 10 SP1 ... View more

I see. Before long, I plan on abandoning the OBJECTID as well. Not only do I not trust it, if you try and move the data, the objectID's get reordered so when ArcMap doesn't import your data for some reason, you have to change all of the pk/fk. What I found, is that you can always access the foreign key even before the original feature class is committed.  So, in the related form, I can query and find the information I need. This is my code to query and find how many related [Lithology] records there are and to increment that number by 1 to give me a [LithOrderNumber] starting with 1 instead of 0: sub countRecords Dim ds Dim query Dim qRows Set ds = Map.Layers("FieldPoints").DataSource set flds = ThisEvent.Object.Fields fid = flds("FIELDPOINTS_ID").VALUE    'Sets fid to the fk query = "SELECT COUNT(AXF_OBJECTID) FROM [LITHOLOGY] WHERE [FIELDPOINTS_ID] =" & fid Set qRows = ds.execute(query)     'Execute Query qrows.movefirst         'Read results countRec = qRows.fields(1).value flds("LITHORDERNUMBER").value = countRec + 1 End Sub ...

Right, right. See it doesn't appear to create the AXF_ObjectID until it saves the point. Once you close the point and reopen it, you can query for AXF_ObjectID, but not before. So, when you create your New_id for the feature class, does ArcPad maintain the relationship on the table side? (Do you have to set the foreign key = new_id or does it handle that?) And what are you using for your "newKey" so that if multiple users go out at the same time, they don't come back w/ duplicate newKeys? ... View more

jclonts, Hold on, I don't think you're out of the woods yet! You have no WHERE in your SQL statement. That will give you the sum of all the volume removed from all your wells. so if you had a total of 10, 15 and 20 gallons removed from well 1, that would be 45. Then from well Two, 5 and 20 gallons for 25 gallons. Instead of return 25 on well Two, you will 10 + 15 + 20 + 5 + 20 = 70. Also, I assume that you are using the ObjectID for your relates. . . slcemcphee33, I assume that you are making your own Primary/Foreign Key "NewKey" that you store in the value Stand? I haven't reached that point yet. I am still using the ObjectID for my relationships which is scary in my opinion. The problem is that I can't figure out how to get the AXF_OBjectID for the current point to use in my WHERE statement. If you use fields(AXF_OBJECTID), it won't return anything.  I may have to just turn to using my own keys... ... View more

For the Nomad... To reset the Trimble Nomad series to factory defalut settings, do the following: 1)Press and hold down the Power key and the right soft key (looks like a dash). Hold until warning screen 2)Follow the instructions on the screen I don't know for the GeoXM. It will probably be different, but if you contact your Trimble Rep, they will pass along the documentation. ... View more

Yeah, usually it should be 2 buttons. I have done it intentionally. You did a factory refresh is what I think they call it. If so, it's all gone. Basically, you just reinstalled Windows. ... View more

Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You! Yes. .axf. I figured that it would be something fairly simple like that. I just couldn't find any documentation for it. ... View more
