What is great about Ebase is the amount of design and testing that has gone
into the application. If you need a good argument, try this one: I'd be
really
happy to come to your place and replicate all of your Ebase functions in
Microsoft Access. It'll probably take a bare minimum of four months at
$60/hour. Oh, and that's if you don't ask for any changes.
A software tool, be it Access, Filemaker, or whatever, is about as useful to
you as a hammer lying on the table until somebody does something with it.
The "something" almost always takes longer than the vendor predicts, and
costs more than the customer really wants to pay.
You might suggest to your E.D. that you'll be happy to switch when he(?)
demonstrates all of the capabilities you currently have in Ebase, with the
data already imported.
