A WAN will generally be slower than a LAN. If you can test out your application on the WAN to see if you get acceptable performance. If the link is too slow you will need to think about client/server (one alternative).

With a database server like SQL Server or Oracle you can control (and thus reduce) what data gets sent back and forth from the database server to the client computer. Take a look at: http://www.vitus.com/vfpcs.html
