Thank you for the response Tracy. I'll pass this on to the client.

Kevin,
We have several organizations that run Home or Pro versions of multiple
Windows versions (XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10). If the data is in an SQL backend,
offer the right fit (which might be Linux). If the data is in DBFs, then any
of the OS's will work via the Share.
Some things to think about when using DBF's in a shared folder.
The files should not be allowed to be available offline. This is a
setting in the Windows Share properties.
Sometimes shared folders require passwords, this increases setup time
when working with the non-technical users.
Windows 7, 8, and 10 can easily connect to a 10 share. XP machines need
to have a less secure setting enabled on the Windows 10 host.
Anti-Virus and Anti-Maleware tools can cause sharing issues.
What I don't know is how many people share the DBF's in our program at a
given time.
