Admittedly, I bought a license to the current 6.x version after trying a 
copy of the 5.x version I grabbed a while back.  So far, I love it!  I 
am currently rewriting our office supply database at work (currently a 
hacked together Oracle-Access 2007 job) in PBCC 6 and from what I have 
released so far, those that use the application like it far better than 
the sticky point-and-clickiness of the old hackjob :)

Get PowerSync SQL Tools 3.0 and possibly PowerBasic 10.0.  I have PBCC
5.0 and PB 8.0-10.0 with SQLTools 2.0 and 3.0.  With SQL Tools 3.0 and
PB 10, you can have all the database libraries builtin to the EXE
files with no external files except the database itself.  Use any
database software the client has on their computer!
