Brian,
Definitely go with a centralised database if you can. Either SQL Server or Oracle is fine for the job here. For access over low bandwidth links then yes, web access is one way - another way would be to use Citrix/Hydra. There are pro's and con's to each - Citrix would cost you a lot more but you could then use "standard" client/server programmers using VB/ODBC etc. rather than needing HTML/ADO/ActiveX/Java skills for the web solution.
Get some advice on this before you go out getting programmers in.
