Have a client testing our VFP app on a Citrix install, with data on a seperate server. So far only problem was that the app is in VFP3 and Citrix Application server had 4Gb of RAM (slightly over VFP3 limit of 758Kb!). Have recompiled app in VFP9 and so far no real problems.
Citrix issues to watch:
Temp files, you can access the "local" workstation through drive V: but this is not recommended for large temp files. So you need to identify users and create folders on Data server.
All users will see same .ini and registry so be carefull what you put there.
We have used SYS(0) to get a unique name for each user logon and thereby create work area in data server.
So far so good, I'll let you know if we hit any snags. So far Very good response times, going "live" in a couple of weeks!
Gary.
