Hi Brent<div><br></div><div>Your point is very common and I understand this situation.</div><div>But the ArcGIS SW suite doesn't really make interoperability easy and tends to maintain a vendor lock-in.</div><div>My proposal is to break this deadlock by programming an free ArcGIS desktop extension which reads/writes Spatialite.</div>

This is not an uncommon situation, & QGIS needs to be viable for such use, & at least Arc compatible, if not Arc friendly. SpatiaLite, despite all it's advantages, is inappropriate here.</div>
