Cesar,
If you have a wide area network (WAN) and you are able to connect to the PCs at your other locations using a mapped drive or UNC (e.g. \\OtherDomain\OtherMachine\SharedDirectory) then you can use the VFP ODBC driver. If not, it won't work. The SourceDB setting specifies the path.
While you don't have SQL Server, if you have VFP, you have access to MSDE. It's free and it may be able to handle what you want it to do. You can get some information on using it with VFP from Jim Duffy's web site (
www.takenote.com).
HTH.
