SAGE 50 won't open when trying to access database via VPN

SUGGESTED

So my owner was looking for a remote access option with our Sage 50 software and I figured to give VPN a try.  The VPN setup was pretty easy since it was built into the router and I can access the mapped drive the Sage database is located with no problems. However every time I try to open Sage, the program crashes. It won't even get into the login screen, as the message window states "Sage could not be started.  Please Try again."

Do I have to remap the drive while on VPN in order sage to access the database file correctly?  

Anyway, any thoughts or ideas?
