What is the ArcPad Data Manager for ArcGIS

The ArcPad Data Manager is an extension for ArcGIS for Desktop (Basic, Standard, or Advanced) that's installed with ArcPad.

Note:

At the time of the ArcPad installation, if you have ArcGIS 9.3, the ArcPad 8.0 Data Manager will automatically be installed. If you have ArcGIS 10 or later, the ArcPad 10.0 Data Manager will automatically be installed.
