Susan,

I'm not an expert on Terminal Server, but from what I read the choice between TS and Citrix is not the number of users, but the services you plan to give to the users. The TS RDP protocol is "as good" as the Citirx ICA protocol, but Citrix offers many "add-ons", improved load-balancing, and many other features. But TS will support many users without problem. Citrix is expensive, so study the option before you go for it.

For a good starting point, check the free TS book in http://www.brianmadden.com/books/

>We have an application that runs using VFP7 with a foxpro database. The application and data is stored locally and is used by about 80 users, all working locally. All the routines access the tables directly and don't use remote views.

>We are considering extending the application to be used by one of our branches in South Africa and this will eventually add another 120-200 users to the system.

>We are looking at using terminal services to allow access to the system but we're worried about the response times with so many users being added to the system.
