I am in the middle of doing something very similar and I would

Inherent problems here are security. Another method, albeit one I've never tried but sounds reasonable enough, it via a Fat Client. Rick Strahl, www.west-wind.com, has a good article on his site about this. Check out "Internet enabling Visual FoxPro applications". This is probably the best approach for what you want to do from your end for maintenance.
