Emeka,

I will  make the assumption that you're running a Compiled dBASE app.
I run a few compiled database apps (written in VFP) with the program and data stored on a Dropbox Drive and run it from a desktop shortcut.

In your case, You would need to ensure that the dBASE run time files are installed on each computer. (I'm using a paid version of Dropbox. I don't know if the free version is the same).

I have clients that run some of my major programs using a VPN without problems. One in particular is using from 3 location with no problem.

For my programs,I have setups to allow my Clients install a Server setup and Workstation setup and use the the program as a network installation using VPN, Cloud or NIC Network.

If don't have anyone in your company to do this, you may have to pay a Network Professional to work with you.
