I need help in designing a network that will allow 2 or more laptops (laptops only) to share a database. These laptops will be used in various cient locations outside our office area.

If they need to share a common database, then you need to store it centrally.

Looks like a job for a single server at the main site, and VPN.

If you can get by with daily or weekly updates, then you only need to setup syncronization software, and a schedule for the users to contact each other.

For purity sake, you are best off to have a common database that they both (all) update from instead of relying on cross updates.
