You're always going to have a tough time running a database app that way
(client on your local PC, database on remote network). I suggest that in the
office you use WinXP Pro with Remote Desktop - once you have the VPN
established, use the remote desktop client to open up a session on the XP
Pro computer in the office and run it that way.

VPN is a great thing but has its limitations and I would never recommend
using only that connection to run an app as you're trying to do. If you use
RD, even if your connection to the remote network drops, you won't lose
data/experience data corruption/etc - you can just reconnect to the XP
remote desktop session and continue working.
