There is an incompatibility with NT vers. 3.51 and VFP6. Check to see if the Citrix Winframe is running on a 3.51 server. I attempted to run 6.0 on Citrix yesterday, and had the same problem. When I recompiled the application to a VFP5 .EXE, it worked fine, and looked normal. I later found that VFP6 will only run properly on Windows95 and 98, and NT 4.0 or above.

Many of the Citrix installations are running on NT 3.51, due to certain incompatibilities with NT 4.0. I understand that these incompatibilities have recently been resolved, but too late for many existing installations.

I hope this helps you.
