Francois,

The problem is that everything is very very slow. This is because unlike VB or Delphi or other windows dev tools, VFP's controls and forms are not Windows objects, they are VFP objects. This causes Citrix to resend the entire screen everytime a textbox changes its value. With the deve tools that use windows objects Citrix only sends the changed control for display.

IMO, and I may be shot for this, but VFP is not a good choice if Citrix is part of the equation. I would use VB for the UI and perhaps use VFP to build ActiveX servers for managing the data.
