The app I ran was in VFP8, and I don't think we used this setting at all - though, it was a few years ago, so I may be wrong. IIRC, the setting meant something at the time of VFP6, but in later versions (of VFP, Citrix, Windows, who knows) it didn't matter anymore, because the problem was fixed at the source, wherever that was.

I didn't try to see how it looked over anything worse than a Wi-fi from a hotel, just a mile from the server, and it looked fine, no visible glitches. I can only say that my conclusion that it really doesn't matter anymore is based on insufficient sample. You'll simply have to try it out, or wait a dozen hours more to see what this hemisphere has to say.
