You can do it with SQL. All your data and most of the meta-data is in the SQL engine. Then you can have two projects each in their own development folder; each development folder has a duplicate of the data dictionary VPME tables.
At your client you have two folders each with its own exe and its own data folder in which would be the data dictionary and the tables update by the security builder.
I haven't actually done this, but I think it would work.
You could do it with DBFs if you made one of the projects the master and the other the slave. You would make all the changes in the data folder in the master and then copy the data folder to the slave. At your client's location you would install the master and then dump the slave exe into the same folder. But the problem would be the security tables.
