Also, assume some memory consumption on the machine running Citrix - maybe adding a 2nd machine to run it if need be, or just having a real monster of one. You save much more than that on workstations' hardware and maintenance.

I've just discovered I lost my VFP6 helpfile.

You mention that BITMAP=OFF is a VFP6 thing. I wonder if it is should be off for any VFP version?

From the VFP9 help file:
BITMAP = OFF can improve performance when application are accessed using Windows Terminal Server clients.

Do people who run VFP apps under Terminal Server or Citrix usually have BITMAP=OFF, or do you leave it at the default?

Does it make much difference?
