Hello Ken

I hate to ask again but I didn't realise that the client wanting to use Citrix was using an older version of our software. It was written on Foxpro version 2.6. Do you by any chance know if this will be different than with version 8 ?
Sorry to bother you again.

Thanks

>>Has anyone worked with Citrix before in order to connect to a Visual FoxPro 8 application ?
>>We have an application with tables and reports etc, and we want to be able to connect to the application from different locations and are considering Citrix for this.
>>How does it work exactly ? I can't find very much info on the Citrix web site so any help would be greatly appreciated.

>The short answer is YES it can be done successfully. I have two large clients in the trucking business that have grown over the years to the point where they added remote sites. Instead of moving to a client server architecture, an easier and quicker way to solve the WAN problem was to use some sort of remote access to the home office application.

>This can be done many ways and I am certainly no expert in the technicalities involved, but the basics are that your remote users log into a workstation in the home office and operate it remotely.

>An example of this is PC Anywhere and that works well depending on the connection speed and, of course, you must have a dedicated work station in the home office for every remote connection.

>Citrix operates in a similar manner EXCEPT that it does away with the need for the one-one requirement of the dedicated home office work stations. Citrix acts as a server for multiple remote users.

>For more on how that all works, others that are more up on the technical side will certainly chime in and help out. But at least you know it is a viable option.
