1. In the Select Output Options dialog box, under "Where do you want this folder to be stored?", be sure to save the folder to the ActiveSync folder in MyDocuments.  It will look something like this: "I:\kwhite2\My Documents\Geo4939435713 My Documents"

3. In the Select Deployment Options dialog box, check the box next to the "Create ready to deploy .CAB file containing the ArcPad data."  If the GPS unit is connected to the computer and turned on, checking this box will result in the immediate deployment of the Map Project and its data to the GPS unit.
4. If the operation is successful (no errors detected during the Validation process), and  the GPS unit is on and attached to the computer you will be asked if you want to deploy the data immediately.  Click yes.
5. During deployment, you'll be presented with a dialog box that tells you, "ESRI Data for ArcPad Data is already installed.  Do you want to proceed with reinstall/upgrade?" 
   1. Click "Yes."  Your addition of data to the device is technically a reinstall of the data.  If you click no, your checked out data will be created in the ActiveSync file, but will not be deployed to the GPS unit.
   2. At the end of the process, you will be told to check the GPS unit for more actions.  On the GPS Unit, you will see an installation dialog box asking if you want to remove the older verision of ESRI DataForArcPad Data.  Tap OK with the stylus.  Choose Device as the location for your data and tap Install in the lower, left hand corner of the screen.
