Hi Stephanie,

Unfortunately the problem lies with VFP. VFP treats the entire screen as 1 bitmap. If anything on the screen changes, VFP refreshes the entire bitmap and using Citrix the entire bitmap is transferred down the line. Screens with a lot of controls and/or more visually intense controls (grids, pageframes) will take longer to refresh each time. I've mentioned in past threads that I've heard that Tahoe forms will be able to run in a browser as is. I'm hoping that to accomplish this they fixed this issue. With the length of time FoxPro and now VFP has been part of the M$ family of products you think they could design it to adhere to their own Windows standards. HTH

>I've read most of the recent threads on Citrix & VFP. We're running a VFP application that contains pageframes and grids over Citrix. The remote offices (3 remote offices, average of 5 users at each remote office) are accessing the Citrix server at 56K. The performance is too slow. My question is, based on your experience, what is the minimum bandwidth we should have for acceptable performance of a VFP application with pageframes and grids?
