You should make a com server. That is just an exe that receives an input from your app. It fetches the data and trasmits it back to you. This is great when the data is not LAN but WAN. Different buildings lead to a WAN in a campus environment.

Do a search here for COM servers. Thsi is what M$ is slating VFP for in their marketing.
