>> Performance is terrible on a WAN... unless you have specifically designed it with a WAN link in mind. I would suggest investigating MS Terminal Server/Metaframe (thin client).

>Other than performance, everything else should be the same as LAN.

Only testing will reveal is the link is fast enough for the path you choose and other things that might crop up.

- reasonalby fast : stay with VFP
- medium : perhaps a thin client like MS Terminal sever
- slow : full fledged data server like SQL Server
