Craig,

My quick review of the Crystal documentation indicated that none of the DLLs involved with the application required a client license with the VFP application (no query building, previewing, or report design). Is the license still required only because the application is running on a Citrix server? If so, is one license required or one for each person running the application? We may already have the license but where does one find out the requirements?

Thus there are about a dozen CR runtime files needed for the application taking up about 10Mb of storage. In order to make the application available to our Citrix metaframe users, I had to remove all references to the user's hard drive for temporary storage or references.
