Hi Jeffrey.

>I am developing an application for a very small home based business. They do have a file server in location A. They have (3) total locations across 3 states. They would like to be able to load their application on the file server in location A and allow access to locations B & C. They would also ensure that everyone gets teh latest up-to-date application as I fix bugs and rej-load the latest .exe.

Have you considered using a Terminal Server? That solves at least a couple of problems: performance over a remote network (because only screen updates and mouse and keyboard activity go over the wire, not code or data) and updates (since the app is installed in only one place). You don't need a physical box (although you certainly could have that): Azure, Amazon, and many others provide virtual servers that are easily set up, accessed, and maintained.
