So I have a really strange problem. I have a user that can open every executable with the arcpad package download (studio, sync, etc) even the toolbar works but arcpad itself won't open. You click, nothing happens and there's no error messages. When checking task manager arcpad is being listed as a background process but isn't using any resources besides a little bit of ram.
One advantage arcpad has over collector is the ability to snap features. We currently use collector for some tasks but collecting a utility network is painful due to the lack of snapping capability creating more post collection work. If Collector is great for some tasks but still needs work in some areas.
