I really see no difference in the approach. In cases of going through Termnal Server or accessing the workstation through some remoting application like GoToMyPc, PC Anywhere or Remotely Anywhere, on your workstation you have the "window" into the remote computer. That window *is* your remote computer. Only the path that is working on that remote computer will be relevant.

>Thanks for the reply. I may be confusing TS issues w/ possibly unrelated GoToMyPC issues. The TS-connected user would be running the EXE by being directly connected to the server (?), where the GoToMyPC user may be connected to the workstation instead. Regardless, everyone still runs the launcher to start. Do you see any mapping / reference problems with the following as a remote & non-remote user:

>>>Are there any issues using application launchers on workstations to start VFP apps when run remotely via terminal server or GoToMyPC (citrix)? Would a stored drive/path value (using UNC notation) on a workstation pointing to the location of a VFP database on a server still be valid to the remotely connected user?

Since the application remotely accessed through Terminal Services really runs on a Terminal Server, only drive mappings/UNC path used on a Terminal Server matters for the access. The remote application will not see any drive/path value that are set up on the user workstation.
