We are running a database program (FilePro) on our Linux
server. Can I bring those files into Windows and view them
somehow?

What do you mean by 'bring those files into Windows'? Do you mean 'copy them
across the network onto a Windows machine (workstation or server), and then
view them using a Windows executable? Or do you mean 'Use a Windows
executable to directly the read the files across the network from where they
reside on the Linux box in the Linux file system?

If you mean the first situation just install Samba Server onto your Linux
box. You can then go to any Windows machine on your network and copy files
across the network to the local (or a network) hard drive. You can also copy
files from Windows machines across the network to your Linux box. There is
really no limitation.

If you mean 'reading a file residing on a Linux machine from a Windows
executable across the network' then you could also do that with Samba,
because the Windows executable would now 'see' the file. However, the
Windows executable would need to interpret the file format of the Linux file
or else you would get garbage on the screen.
