Hey Holly-
That's what we do. Our DSL office (which is currently dialing-up because
Capitol Hill is at maximum capacity for DSL!) normally hosts FMPro Server
(which is a service for Windows NT) on our NT server. Then the field staff
with dial-up connections open FMPro on their desktops and find the host by
typing in our static IP address. No need to publish to the Web, but you do
need a Windows NT server. It isn't super-speedy (the initial opening of
the database takes several minutes), but it is better than emailing the
database (which would take a lot longer than that).
