I have no experience with Citrix but I can echo Ken's comments about PC AnyWhere. I have a PC AnyWhere host which runs both a VFP 6.0 and a FPW 2.6 application simultaneously with no problems. Printing can be done at either the host or remote site (which is why we use it rather than the company's standard remote control software). Access via a TCP/IP connection is take a sip from your coffee cup, not go get another cup. Biggest problem is only one user at a time, but if that's not an issue I think it's a fine solution.
