That's a bit difficult to answer as you only see the app itself - but I would guess it looks like an XP system because that is what the host is running

Adding applications on the server which are immediately reflected in the Client screens is very impressive - also you can specify on the Server if you want apps to run full screen or normal

My test at the moment involves

- gotomypc connection from my office to my home
- GoGlobal client in my home machine runs Radmin (remote access - bit like RDP on my office machine)
- this conncets me to my office in NY
- where I'm running a heavy VFP app

All looks very good - if you can work out how many Internet connections this involes you're a better man than I am

>Thanks Colin. Does the app appear as it would under the host O/S? If the host is Windows XP does the app look like an XP system to the end-user? Or is the appearence dependent on the client OS?

>>Like all such systems, GoGlobal included, any temporary exclusive use files have to me moved off the C drive as the C drive is the 'property' of Citrix etc - this was a big job but we used GoFish to change all C:\ references to T:\ with a great amount of success

>>GoGlobal looks as good as Citrix with 1 major advantage - it obeys printer and form sizes in reports and even if it's using 'report form to printer prompt' the correct form size for the printer comes up when the printer is selected - we are still testing GoGlobal but it looks like the system we will use in the future and will convert our US Citrix box to it
