Hi Jason, Here is a sample of how an applet can interrogate the map, and display the layers in a list box. Then when you select a layer in the list and press ok it will make it editable. I hope this gives you a starting clue and I hope I have interpreted you query. Let me know how you get on. Cheers, Gareth ... View more

Hi Jason, I forgot to ask about what version of ArcPad you are using? If you are using 10 does QuickCapture help you at all? ... View more

Hi Ashlie, Could you describe your data a bit more or put the project up here so we can have a look? What values are your radio buttons storing? Thanks, Gareth ... View more

Hi j_blocker, Could you post the zip file again? What you have described sounds logical. How familiar are you with scripting? Cheers, Gareth ... View more

ArcPad Studio doesn't have the notion of BreakPoints, the best way to see what is/and is not firing is write to things to the console. eg Console.print("Going in to the loop...") or Console.print(myCalculation). Stick these throughout your code to help your testing. I hope this helps. Also Could you post the whole sub routine up if you want anymore help. Cheers, Gareth ... View more

Hi Jason, Do you have XP or Windows 7? With XP you need to run the install as the administrator and it then should work for any user that logs on to that machine. For windows 7 you have to make sure you are the administrator and not just an "administrator". All clear now? Thanks Microsoft!!! the administrator no longer does as much as the XP administrator. You need to tweak things. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-windows-vista/ Hope this muddies the water. Cheers, Gareth ... View more

Hi Joel, In ArcPad 10, from Studio you can export the data from an AXF to shapefiles and then re-import those into SDE. Hope this helps. Cheers, Gareth ... View more

Hi Salome, It is not possible to call a sub from a standard ArcPad tool, however you can create your own custom tool and implement your routine to invoke the action of the tool by using internal commands e.g. Application.ExecuteCommand("ModeSelect") Check out the Customising ArcPad help and search for internal commands Hope this helps.

Hi Salome, How about writing the attributes to a set of Application.UserProperties("Field1") values so that you have the records in memory when the form is first opened, then when you press ok you can check to see: if Application.Userproperties("field1") = Application.Map.layers("yourlayer").Forms("EditForm").Pages("YourPage").Controls("txtField1").Value then   do your update end if Hope this helps.

What device are you trying to implement your survey on? 250 questions is a lot for any data collection application, and have you considered that the device hasn't got a screen that is adequate for the job rather than the cramming data onto the forms? Are there any fields that can be automatically filled based on other results? Or any that can be skipped because of survey workflow? I can't tell from the entry if you are experienced in ArcPad or not, but feel free to respond if you want to bounce any ideas around. ... View more

Hi Aaron, At the moment ArcPad does not honour the domain defaults based in the SubTypes menu. If you set the domain defaults on the fields menu for domains it will honour those. Hope this helps. ... View more

Hi Emma, At this stage there is no where else but studio where you can put check boxes on the form. Basically there is no way for the data manager to know how you are using the data to construct these different controls. Hope this helps, Gareth ... View more

Hi Lori, I don't know if you have seen this article from the ArcPad team, but here is an example of how you can add an image to your form. http://arcpadteam.blogspot.com/2009/07/arcpad-login-form.html http://arcscripts.esri.com/details.asp?dbid=16477 Good luck with your customising. Let us know how you get on. Cheers, Gareth ... View more

As part of the ArcPad Data Manager in ArcMap, you can use the template checkbox where you can set your layer to have all the functionality your previous AXG had. Hope this helps. Cheers, Gareth ... View more
