Hi!

local resides on your pc/laptop..
remote resides on your network ..server or pc connected to network (LAN or Internet)

local is free.
remote requires license.

That is just my simple explanation.

Local mode works just like (x)Harbour's built in RDD 'DBFCDX' and is free.
The remote option requires you to purchase a server product. The database files and the server product must reside on the same computer. With the remote option it creates a true client/server application.

The "remote" ADS is the only option that gives you true client-server (2-tier) paradigm, just like MS-SQL or MySQL or Oracle. With a 2-tier -client-server mode, database operations take place at the server-end, thus saving all data round trips from/to the server and the workstation. This yields A LOT FASTER database operations.
