PMFJI, but I have to respectfully disagree with your opinion on VFP apps. One of our clients produces a help desk automation package written in VFP and we did some experimentation with their app in a Citrix environment. The only unacceptable performance was when testing the VFP 3.0 version of their app. Under VFP 6, the same app ran sufficiently well to be useable for even dialup users. And that was before the added tweak in SP4 or 5 to speed up bitmap performance.
Also, a large number of our insurance industry clients have, among all their other apps, one or two that, when you peer behind the scenes, you find are Foxpro of one flavor or another. These are deployed in all sorts of configurations, Citrix fronting Netwaee, Citrix fronting NT, and in no case has the Foxpro-based app been the annoying troublesome app that you just can't make work on Citrix.
