Are not Excel and/or FileMaker able to read dbf files ?
Yes, but I need to read in ArcView GIS shapefiles which are composed of
several files, including a file of geometric shapes (point, line, polygon),
map projection information, and a dbf file of associated attribute data for
each geometric object. I could import the dbf file into Excel, then export
it out as a text file for my program to read, but that would be an
additional step I don't want to do every time. Same for FileMaker. I want a
stand-alone app that can read in the shapefile for my dissertation research
project and that will develop data layers following Open GIS Consortium
guidelines, and then have the ability to write the data layers out as
shapefiles.
Thanks for the response. These look like exactly what I need.
Philip
