Cytrix is really a flashback in computers, thin clients (or even terminals) and everything running on a server. Best way to know what to modify in your application is to imagine that several instances of your application are running on the same box and added exists a very strong permissions policies. <br />
<br />
Problems I found:<br />
<br />
* Creating temporary files. You must have a different name for each session running on shared directoris. If you are simply reading you must not open file in exclusive use.<br />
<br />
* Accessing/modifiying registry entries (normally you only will have permissions on HKEY_CURRENT_USER).<br />
<br />
* Disk quotas.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps a bit.<br />

I have a VB6 application, as a compiled DLL, which operates on the client desktop (XP) accessing databases on a server. They are planning to make use of Citrix which I believe is a thin client system. I know nothing about Citrix or if my application will work on Citrix. If it will not, where can I find out what changes/re-write will be necessary.<br />
<br />
Here's hoping you guys can help.<br />

What are the implications of using an application developed in VB6 over a Citrix network?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
