Just to throw this out there.....if wireless, have you tried changing the batteries? (Low batteries can cause strange behavior).   If wired, have you tries a different mouse?  If a rollerball, like a track man, have you cleaned the censors lately?   My trackman was having issues this week...popped the ball out and removed a decent sized dust bunnie (so to speak).   Sometimes it is still just hardware and not software (at least in my case). ...

Hope that is all it was. You wouldn't think that could be the problem if it was a new install, but always a simple check.  If it was an upgrade, or uninstall/upgrade, I can see where it may have issues.  Give it some time, and if it sticks, make sure to mark the answer so others know...in case they search for the same.  ...

Tammy, are you accessing the default Print service that you can create in  ArcGIS Server 10.2.2?  I have been messing around with creating a custom print service, which I may still need to do to get some additional text on the map.  In doing so, I tested the output pdf and realized that is it in fact a geoPDF.  this is the case using when using my print service thru ArcGIS Online too (as AGOL administrator, I set my organization to point to our local service). To test, save the .pdf and open it in Adobe Reader or Acrobat Pro. In Reader, you need to "Enable All Features", then in the Edit tool bar, select Analyst->Geospation_Location_Tool.  You coordinates should display at the bottom In Acrobat, under tools, in the pulldown, check to display the Analyze toolbox (if not showing). Expand the toolbox and select Geospatial Location Tool.  (side note: The adding of the Analyze toolbar "sticks" for me, vs the Reader which seems to ask me each time to enable all features.) On my mobile device (ipad) I was able to open up in the free Avenza app by using the built in "open in" options of both Safari and Chrome. I also tested this using some of the samples in Print webmap | ArcGIS API for JavaScript   In particular I explored this one, "print webmap" using the "explorer in the sandbox" option. I changed 1) the mapid to one of my own (from ArcGIS Online), 2) the extent and special reference (mine is not the standard web mercator). and 3) I again pointed to my local service).  I then test this, and it also came out as a geoPDF.  My guess is it would do the same with the Print | ArcGIS API for JavaScript  sample, but that will take a bit more testing to get my data and service inserted. I hope this helps. -b (p.s,..IF this does answer the question, please make it as such so others can find it.) ... View more

Jill, I looked at my .net on my Win7 and a Server 2008 R2 and although I thought I had 3.5 installed, Add/remove programs only shows 4.5 and 4.0 respectively...actually a surprise to me. My guess is you have already tried the renaming of the normal.gxt to normalgxt.bak in      C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.2\ArcCatalog when you restart ArcCatalog, a new clean one will be created.  With this being a fairly new install, that may not be it, but always worth a try.  and if is doesn't help, you can always rename it back (after deleting the fresh one) Also, I know we have had various issues with machine that had IE11 installed...and some minor issues if IE10 (although I have a workaround for that).  typically that came with an ActiveX type error, but also worth checking.  we've rolled all ours back to ie9. just a few things to try/check. ...

and maybe this could be an option that is set organization wide by the administrator. ... View more

Hi Tim, That is very similar to what I do, although I have buttons on a toolbar instead of multiple pages, since I can fit most of my input on one page, and I have multiple feature classes that are related (e.g. transect number and animalID are carried forward, if appropriate...animalID is incremented for new location, etc) and the shapefiles (in the case of this program..reember it was written for ArcPad 6.1) are created as needed in the session.  Most of my development was done before Application Builder was as robust as it is now, so I still edit most of the files direct, so I can't be much help on the AB side of things.  Also, at the time since some of the things I was doing wasn't 100% supported by AB, bringing it is may have corrupted my files. After you read up on some of the info and read thru my samples a bit more, let me know if you have additional questions. ... View more

Hi Jamal, Here is a quote from the tech support issue I had  "when ArcPad 10.0 gets installed, it will install the Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition v3.1 in the Program Files directory. The Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition format is what the AXF file format is based on. Therefore because ArcPad 10.2.1 did not install that on the machine, that error was being produced. ArcPad will run successfully but will not be able to open AXF files. Throughout our troubleshooting, we ended up uninstalling 10.2.1 for ArcPad and reinstalling 10.0.4 and that had installed the Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition v3.1, which resolved that error. We then removed 10.0.4 and reinstalled 10.2.1." So, although I was told I could directly install/copy the v3.1 files, because of the other issues I was troubleshooting, I had uninstalled the 10.2.1 and installed an 10.0.x .... then reinstalled 10.2.x.  That is not a direct approach but worked best for me at the time.   Is that an option for you? If not, the more direct approach would be to unzip the zip file https://community.esri.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/381143-37437/Microsoft%20SQL%20Server%20Compact%20Edition.zip and copy the files to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.1 that was what I would have done if the uninstall and reinstall didn't fix it for me. Hope that helps. ... View more

i had a similar issue and have a response in this older thread Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition Initialization Error... A snippet from that thread "if you install 10.2.1 as a clean install, (instead of updating from 10.0.4, for example), Microsoft SQL Compact Edition v3.1 MAY not get installed. ... The folder is fairly small zipped, so I've attached it. If you unzip this folder to your Program Files folder .. if 32-bit OS or the "Program files (x86)" ...if 64-bit, that might also take care of the issue." https://community.esri.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/381143-37437/Microsoft%20SQL%20Server%20Compact%20Edition.zip that link is the .zip file mentioned. You may want to look at the other thread for more detail. ... View more

Interesting.  It worked for me.  I noticed I have 10.2.1 on this machine.  Maybe it changed in 10.2.2. ... View more

Hi Tim, You didn't mention how you are customizing your ArcPad.  If you are using .vbs, I can tell you how I did this.  This may not be the best or only method, since this was written originally for ArcPad 6.1, but it does still work with the latest release.  Please let me know if you need more clarification since it is a bit hard to pick out the main points, but should help you find the keywords in the help.  These are:  Application.UserProperties  Application.GetProfileString Application.WriteProfileString Brief description of my project: If is an aerial survey of wildlife.  Some values (computer number, last animalID, incremental segment number, etc) carry forward between sessions by reading/writing to the ArcPad.ini file.  Other variables (transect number, species, etc) are set in a subroutine, and the variable are written to global variable (Application.UserProperties).  The values of all can change throughout the session, some by the user and others behind the scene.  Many carry forward between forms, and also show in a formatted status bar at the bottom. Warning/suggestion:  if it's a variable you do not want to lose if the computer crashes, periodically save it to the ArcPad.ini (don't wait until final closing of the program)  Save/retrieve values between ArcPad sessions, I use the "Application.GetProfileString" or "Application.GetProfileInt" (for reading) and  "Call Application.WriteProfileString" or "Call Application.WriteProfileInt" (for writing).  These are written and read from the ArcPad.ini file. For example to read and write the string variable "LastTransNo" to the ArcPad.ini,  and to/from a session global variable "strLastTransNo": Read....     Application.UserProperties("strLastTransNo") = Application.GetProfileString("SessionVars","LastTransno","none") Write...     Call Application.WriteProfileString("SessionVars","LastTransno",strTransno) Saving variables within an ArcPad session (and to carry forward),  use    Application.UserProperties("myVariable")  to store the variables for example             Application.UserProperties("strLastTransNo") = Application.GetProfileString("SessionVars","LastTransno","none") or, for example, to increment a value (on certain event):     Application.UserProperties("intSegment") = (Application.UserProperties("intSegment") + 1)" Using the saved variable to populate a field on a form (carry forward) In my project, in my transectapps.vbs  I have a  "Sub TransSetup()"     which includes...           ...         Dim objTheForm           Set objTheForm = Applet.Forms("frmTransSetup")         objTheForm.Show           ... This particular form is located in my project.apa file.  inside the form for TransNo field, I show      <EDIT name="txtTransno" x="45" y="5" width="25" height="12" onvalidate="ThisEvent.Object.Parent.Controls(&quot;txtTransno&quot;).text = ThisEvent.Object.Text      SetTransno" defaultvalue="Application.UserProperties(&quot;strTransno&quot;)" tooltip="Transect No." group="false" tabstop="true" border="true" readonly="false" sip="auto" uppercase="true"/> The defaultvalue=  displays the current value of the "strTransno" variable, which stays the same thru many forms until I call my setup trans and allow the user to change it. I hope this makes sense.   Let me know if you need clarification on the above. ... View more

Jason, if you haven't figured this out yet, you can change the data frame properties to a different projection.  You will get a warning when you try to edit to let you know that the spatial reference doesn't match the data, the shape will of course distort, I would check the edit results carefully, but this will change the displayed coordinates in the edit box. Below...features class is Alaska Albers....data frame set to NAD1983.  Coordinates showing in decimal degrees. ... View more

Thanks Asrujit for sending the links.  i will read thru those. In partticular, I'm trying to find out whether it is possible for "public" users, i.e. not named users, to view an online app I have made public, and request it to be taken offline.  I think Collector requires a login, but will look into that. And I know that it can be done with a clip and ship, but looking at a more user friendly way.  But this may be a topic for another thread. ... View more

Hi Derek, With the switch to geonet, your link to "Take maps offline" is lost.  Can you update this?  Thanks Timothy Hales‌ ... View more
