>>> I did look into the ICA from CITRI. I am looking for another way to do it because it will cost too much: a new server, os licensing fee and the cost of the ICA itself. Because we are re-writing all of the in-house apps., we think it would be better off for us to change the way we develop the apps.. Instead relying on third party software. Thank you for your input.

So you wouldn't suggest using VFP and build a COM server for both projects? Then use DCOM on the VFP application to connect to the IIS/MTS server where the .dll's are?

What would you do, build two completely separate business rule applications?
