Once this project is done, it isn't a problem. The problem is that the second app isn't finished yet, so it's still on my computer. The first app (that combines the tables) is already on the network. If I have to give this app access to the DBC I have to move my app over to the network from my current development directories. I kind of dislike having my apps on the network since it seems to add another layer of potential problems.

Having said that, that's exactly what I'm in the process of doing since I don't know of another way around this.
