Thanks, Ted.
Unfortunately, the app that is creating the problem (using DBFs) is not
something I created or have the desire (or authority) to replace. It's
an appliance repair application that schedules in-home service calls,
manages repair parts inventory, billing, technician routing, etc, etc, etc.
I'm pretty much stuck with providing RDP-like services from the remote
locations to the city where the data resides.
And, as I said in my other response, the author claims to be porting the
application over to "the cloud" so that the service techs will have
real-time access via a cellphone hotspot to create invoices in the home,
etc. But, the best laid plans of mice and men tend to be delayed...

Building on the idea you already have the VPN installed, so you've got
encrypted tunneling and authentication taken care of, "all you need to
do" (I love when my clients start a sentence that way!) is reach the
app over that VPN.
Since Thierry seems to be taking the day off <g> I'd suggest you set
up FoxInCloud to work as an *INTRANET* application: the remote
workstations could use a browser to access the app. You solve the
latency and bandwidth problems of sharing DBFs.
