>>NT 5 will have WinFrame cabability available for it. Microsoft purchased rights to the technology from Citrix (they called it a partnership). I don't know if I would wait for 5.0 though. Last I heard it's been pushed out to 1999. Also, there will be an addon available to 4.0 currently called Hydra. It is a multi-user addon for NT 4.0 (and is what will be available for NT 5.0). So far we've been very pleased with the performance of VFP over WinFrame. Ocassionally, some browses and grids seem a little slow, but the performance is completely acceptable, and the cost vs. other alternatives is really quite acceptable.

>Is there somewhere that you know of that I can get more information on the 'partnership' in regards to NT 5, NT 4 and Hydra? Also, what type of setup are you using for the remote access (RAS, Internet, modem, ISDN, T1, etc) ? Any info greatly appreciated.


Hydra is the codename. Windows Terminal Server is the official name. Search for those on the Microsoft site.
