Install the VFP runtime locally on each machine. Run the compiled executable from where it sits.

Any other solution would involve running using a thin-client environment or web hosted application, and would entail considerably greater expense.

None from my POV. It's a really bad idea, since among other things, it creates a needless amount of network traffic, loads the app slower unless you have a blinding fast LAN and snail-like local drive.

If you run the executable locally, it runs on each local machine. If you run via a thin-client configuration, it runs all app instances on the server.
