>>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.

Colin,

Do a search on Microsofts website for "hydra". It gives many articles on it (press releases, white papers, etc.). Also take a look at this site for information on what Citrix is doing with the whole thing as well: http://www.citrix.com/products/picasso.asp
