Joining tables?

[AndyBailey]

It's been many years since i used GIS.

I have previous experience using Arcview 3.2.

I remember calling up the table behind say a census tract shapefile and joining it to a dbf file containing other data.

Is there a way to join dbf tables using ArcGIS Explorer Desktop?

Thanks

I don't think this is possible, but I can't find any documentation that specifically says that it cannot do this. This thread discusses this and it seems like the general consensus is that you can't do this in Explorer Desktop, as it is just a free application. However, as Cody suggests at the end, you might be able to use the ArcGIS Explorer SDK to make some tools that would do this.
