Do you have a server farm? Or is this all running on one server?

>Hi there

>We have an app which is currently running on VFP 9 but only since April 2006 - prior to that it was VFP 7. We have 300 users at peak with an average of around 150 concurrent and it is 100% deployed over Terminal Services with CITRIX.

One thing we did was ensure that we did not make use of any large bitmaps because these will chew up bandwidth but other than that we had no performance issues related to the use of TS and CITRIX.

>There are some registry changes that are advisable (a google search ov VFP CITRIX should yield results) but in general performace has been good. It is important however to invest in quality servers for your application to be published on because all your remote users will be hitting the TS box buy the best and fastest that you can and make sure they have really fast disk with plenty of RAM to ensure that you give them the best possible environment to run under.

>Anyway, I am not sure if my comments have helped but I can assure you that VFP runs quite well under TS with CITRIX and is a good way to get remote users to acces your app.

>Good luck
