[Freegis-list] data viewer wanted

[Cayla Buell]

All-

Sorry about my previous unfinished post.  I accidentally hit send...

Anyway, I am looking for a data viewer, and have yet to find one with the
features I need.  There are four main features I'd like, in addition to what
is "standard" (use shapefiles as a data source, zooming, getting information
about features, etc).

1)  Joining/relating tables and hyperlinking.  I'd like to be able to open
hyperlinked files for a given feature, but I don't want to store this
information in the shapefile dbf.  I want to be able to join the tables with
a one-to-many relationship (ie a single feature has many links) and open
files/URLS from a field in the joined table.

2) Selecting and exporting features.  I want to be able to select certain
features and export the selected table data to a new file.  This could be a
.dbf, .csv or .xls.

3)  Editing.  I DO NOT want the user to be able to edit the data in any
way.  I don't want them to be able to change anything in the shapefile
features or table.  I don't want the user to be able to add or delete
anything.

4)  It needs to be simple and easy to install.

Those are the three key things I am looking for.  Although I do a little
programming, I am not great at it and therefor would like something that
involves a minimal amount of programming, if any at all.    I am looking for
something that is free, but I am open to other suggestions.

So, if anybody knows of anything available, I'd love to hear it!  Thanks for
your help.
