When a user needs a new form, he sends me by fax a printed example, then I make the definition in my PC, then I export this new definition using the "export" option. This option creates a new database with the form definition, creating the necessary tables. Then I send this database by mail to my customer. He saves it in a folder of his hard disk and uses the "import" option to add this new definition to his database (which already has tables with the other form definitions he is using).

But as far as I know, I can only open databases which are phisically in the server PC. So my question is:
