>I am working on converting a FPW 2.6 application into a distributed app. I was originally thinking of writing a VFP fat client app, using Web Connection to serve the data but wanted to find out more about Citrix as an alternative solution. The system will need to support five remote locations with approximately 4 to 10 users per location.

I see Cirtix as an After thought, not a tool you would plan to use when designing the system... Well, ok, you may plan to use it for a few remote users, but for what you are doing, I think you are on the right track.

Problem with Cirtix in this case is you would need some pretty hefty Citrix Machine/Machines to support 30-50 users.

Are the remote locations accessing the data via the internet, or do they have a private LAN? You could just do traditional C/S if they had a private LAN.
