well, you should be able to use a remote view,you have to define a DSN pointing at the database (or table) on the server and then create a connection on that

another option you have is to create a VFP OLE SERVER,
which will be run on the server - register it on your machines (look at racmgr32) as a DCOM or remote automation server
