>Create a FoxPro progam with a DBC and a Table or two. Place a few MB's of data into the tables. Create an Exe, that uses the tables. (select 0, use table). On one machine on your network run the program. Make sure the program is still running on the first computer. Then goto another machine and first just try to click on the dbf file. My Second computer has about a 10 sec pause. Now try to run the program. You should see a much slow response on the second.
