Hi to you all,


Business is going great. our clients are purchasing more and more licenses (one of them over 200 now, on a single database). And increaslingly, interest is roused in working remotely using Citrix and a thin line(ISDN, DSL). Whem upgrading their systems, one of our customers decided to implement a "Citrix farm", e.g. two or more Citrix servers working together using load balancing.
When using our (foxpro 7) application on a ctrix farm, running on win2k and placing the datbase on a win2k file server they ran into problems.
The application ran into "error reading file" problems quite frequently, and in fact so often that they deceided to downgrade to Win NT4 again, which works fine. However, next year NT4 will be unsupported by Microsoft and therefore we are seacrching for a solution.
Does any of you know the definitive solution other than downgrading to NT4?
I am told the Foxpro/Citrix/win2000 "error reading file" problem is a known issue, however I do not know of a solution. The whole problem is causing much unrest among our present and even future would-be customers an is a small-to-medium-scale disaster.

Thanks in advance,

Geert
