>I had the same types of problems with an application a while back. It turned out that it was working great for all users that were accessing the app. through the Citrix (Terminal Server) sessions. But on the desktops running the app. as a general network app. it was doing what you are describing. As you tab through the objects on the forms they appear, or you can minimize/restore. I had to take out the setting as the app. needed to be run as a network app. for some of the users. However as I mentioned it did work great for us on the TS session machines.

If the problem is just when "normal" accesed, but it really speed up things under Citrix/Terminal Server, then maybe you could use two different CONFIG.FPW. That would imply that instead of attaching it to the EXE, you leave it outside, and you use the -C switch to set which one it uses.

Setting each shortcut differently could be a hassle, but you can make two different .lnk files and just copy the one you need in each case.

If someone tries this and it works (or not), I'd be glad to know it!

Good luck.
