Dean,
Being in a terminal based scenario is a bit peculiar because we don't normally design applications with the thought that more than one user will be using the same machine and drive. With that in mind, this is what I do (and just did in a large app that runs only on Terminal Server).

We have a launcher program that every user runs - this is a shortcut on their desktop. The launcher program checks a file in the master directory (we have a master directory that contains the current files for our app). If there is no user directory, or if there is a file (update.txt - with a datetimestamp in it), that is different or does not exist, we create the user a directory and the structure for the application is copied over to the users directory.

During the copy process, we create a config.fpw with the tmpfiles, editwork, etc commands for that user. Once the process of copying is complete, the exe that is in the user's personal directory is RUN.

The launcher program allows us to very easily update all clients - we use this same process on non-terminal setup, just have the user run the application exe (it checks the shared drive for the txt file), the exe copies the latest launcher over to the local machine, then runs the launcher and quits itself. The launcher is then able to process any updates - quit itself, and RUN the main exe.

We can copy files into our master application directory, and delete the update.txt file and all users that launch the program after will be updated with the latest files.

In the application we just put out - we excluded all the reports - and have a corresponding prg for each report that is excluded as well. This app is also completely sql server - no vfp tables - so each user must have their own dbc.
