Sounds like you came up with the same things that we've been doing (although we havent yet upgraded ours to VFP) Have you developed an inter-branch xfer? We have an insurance adjusting system that allows multiple branches to "share" a file. Time and expenses are recorded at two or more sites. The "assisting" branches send their work to the "primary" branch and the primary branch bills the file and all of the data is sent to the home office. Things got pretty hairy when we had 20+ branches calling each other and the home office to boot.
