You really don't need client/server, if you only need network access.
Put your executable into a shared folder.
Put the data (database and tables) in a folder called DATA under the shared folder.
The executable accesses the tables with the relative path DATA\MyDatabase.DBC, DATA\MyTable.DBF, etc.
To allow sharing, SET EXCLUSIVE OFF before opening any tables.
I recommend you use optimistic buffering for all your tables.
I also recommend you use private datasessions for all your forms. If you do this, you can test potential problems with table sharing, simply by opening the same form twice.
And that's about it.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
