I find this quite interesting. I've always belived that you're better off putting the .exe on the users local machines. So now I have another question for you. Let's say you have a DBC that has nothing but a bunch of remote views in it...and maybe some local views that's just a combination of some of those remote views. What happens with the DBC? Is this something that should also be kept on the user's local machines like the .exe's ???

I don't know the answer to this question, but I've emailed a friend who's a Citrix expert...
