>>I am putting together a small app for a client, which is going to run on a Citrix server with about 6 users (4 remote using 56K dial in, 2 LAN). I saw somewhere on the UT that when an app is going to serve multiple users (i.e. exe AND runtime libs on a server), VFP 6 is preferred over VFP 5. The only trouble is that last time I tried to load VFP 6 (beta from Devcon 98) I got a message that my registry was too full (Win 95). I also have a few VFP 5.0 projects and I didn't want to have to go through the mess of maintaining two versions of utilitiy classes etc. Also this project is a "get it done yesterday" kind of thing. So will VFP 5 do the job, or must I use 6?

Craig,
I realize that 6.0 will be better, but my problem is time. Last time I tried to install VFP 6.0 is was the beta version from Devcon 98. I got some message about my registry not having enough room. On the M$ knowledge base it said to shorten some of the paths to my applications to make more room in the registry. I tried this and it still didn't install. Have you ever heard of this problem??

Since then I got the 6.0 upgrade disk, but haven't installed yet, fearing the same problem, and realizing that I may have to do some intense disk housekeeping, to resolve it and clean out the registry.

If my app is going to crash and burn with VFP5 on citrix, I will go through the pain, install VFP 6.0, but doing this will probably cause me to miss the client's deadline. But if VFP 5.0 can handle 6 users on Citrix, I'd prefer to wait a month, then upgrade both myself and the client.

What do you think?
