I'll answer Walter's 4 part question here.
Walter, yes, I now also believe that there's a problem pulling the DBF out of the EXE. At my last job we had a loader that brought the current EXE down to the local machine. And I concur that a loader is always a good idea.
Now, we did have a static DBF on the network that all the local EXE would use and we had no problems with that. It contained encrypted connection strings to our various MSSQL and MySQL databases.
And, yes, any kind of SQL backend is always better than DBFs.
