I don't think the GETFILE, PUTFILE problems have to do with security. Instead, the functions call on the operating system and NT 3.51 is too old to be compatible with the new development tools. I also heard where someone was telling me that even Access 97 apps cannot call the file open dialog box on a NT 3.51 PC. Therefore, there will be pressure from many sides to upgrade.

I fixed the appearance problems with the menus on my apps by making sure that every item has a font defined using the old trick of stuffing the following in the "skip for" expression:
.F. FONT "MS Sans Serif", 10 style "B"

The font solution also fixes the appearance of menus created with a DEFINE POPUP command.

Unfortunately, I still haven't figured out how to get the system menus in VFP6 itself readable when maintaining code remotely on the Citrix Server. Some things like editing screen forms are also a real pain since it is very difficult to move the properties window around since half height captions cannot be moved with the mouse.
