>>>>>Citrix allows a user to connect to a remote desktop. This remote desktop is a virtual desktop that is generated by the Citrix server. Since this is a generated desktop for each user, it can be customized for the applications that each remote user will use. In your case it is VFP with the associated libraries. This also includes any other dependencies such as active-x components, app files (such as FoxyPreviewer), and the VFP runtime support files. These virtual desktops also need to be able to connect to a common share drive for the databases (if DBC/DBF) or to the SQL server.

Does the VFP application actually run on the Citrix server or on the regular PC/desktop that uses the Citrix server? I am trying to understand if the memory and CPU on the PC/desktop is important or only the RAM and CPU on the Citrix desktop is important?

Thank you. This explains it clearly. Therefore, I now need to tell the Citrix people how much memory they need to have on the Citrix server to run the VFP application. I will tell them a minimum of 2 GB. And any CPU that provides a good performance with Windows 7 or 10.
