Terry,

>Wow! Why would a prospect prefer a browser-slug interface over a full VFP GUI Citrix service. I am not talking about internet sales services - but a fixed user in-house propietary interface.

While Citrix works very well with most VFP apps (and also with FP/DOS from what I hear), there are costs involved. Citrix server and client licensing is more expensive than Terminal Services, I think. The project I'm on that is using Citrix is large enough that the corporation's Network department is handling all of those details, so I don't know the costs.

You may find some things in the user interface that don't work as well as you'd like, but so far, I've been very impressed with things like scrolling through grids over a SLOW network connection. As always, you must test, test, test and do feasibility checking for committing to it for a live project.
