Hi Jos.
You can use Sys(0), just like on a networked machine. It will return the User's Login ID and the name of the Terminal Server they are logged into. You can also check GetEnv("ClientName") to see the name of the machine they are using to connect to the terminal Server, if that information is of use.

>>My company runs a number of Terminal Servers using FoxPro programs and it works fine. We haven't written the programs any differently than we normally would for any other desktop application. Terminal Server gives each user their own Temp directory, so there can't be conflicts there, and in the application directory, where all the users have access, it's no different that normal network programming. We use a front end menu I wrote to let the users select which application they want, mainly because we didn't want to give users a proper desktop. The only time we've had problems is when a programmer has installed a new ActiveX control on the server and forgot to switch the server into install mode first, so only they had assess to the control.
