I do not know about Power Builder but with VFP ...
1. VFP is inexpensive.
2. You do not need to go C/S if the project does not require it.
3. The database engine is very fast, flexible and easy to use.
4. Maintenance of a system in production is very easy, because you have
immediate access to the tables, in the same environment.
5. In general you care only about one product, no interface problems,
no external utilities needed.
6. The language is easy, very powerful, object oriented and visual.
There must be more, maybe you could look at a thread about Access that
has been very active a few weeks ago for more amunition.
