We called Fox Support originally, and MS has dropped testing and support for all visual studio products under NT 3.51 But we believe that was premature considering the base of Citrix installations. We've tried to use VFP5, but we've already had too many bugs to fix in a reasonable amount of time. Especially when the VFP6 version works great. Even in NT3.51 it works except for the pageframes. Unfortunately using an ActiveX control is too kludgy. You have to have a tabless pageframe and pass the events to the appropriate page.

Grant it, it can be done, but that kind of change would throw our development time and cost off too much.

Thanks for the suggestion though,
Ed
