Hmm this should be connected to your other question. Unfortunately it wouldn't matter where your exe is, either from server or from your local PC, data would be used bringing it down to client. If you want to benefit from server and bring in only the data you need, instead of native VFP tables consider using a client/server database like postgreSQL (best IMHO), mySQL, MS SQL server, oracle ...
