Micheal, I agree with Virgil - make a copy of your tables - zip them - and FTP or HTTP/HTTPS upload them to a central folder.
You should be able to all of this very easily with VFP. Craig Boyd has a free zip encryption FLL. There are some very good free VFP FTP libraries or use WestWind IP-Tools(?) ($200) which would also allow you to upload your files via an HTTP/HTTPS interface. This gives your Finance team a bunch of zipped tables. They should be able to take it from there. Or you could write a simple VFP utility that your Finance team would run that would unzip and load tables into a master database. I also agree with Stephen's comment that you really might want to look at new technology. In this case you might want to look at Python's excellent *built-in* zip file and web modules. I don't see any reason why you can't implement your solution as 2 small, standalone Python apps. Good luck!
