Editing an ICA file...

I am trying to edit an ICA file from within Citrix, I am new to this, How do I go about doing this? The object to be able to edit the existing application and add a button which links to a seperate database... Any help is appreciated.

You'll need separate ica files for each database.

But any text editor should allow you to edit the ICA file.

I tried to open the ica file in a couple of text editors and all I was able to see was version and browser address. Maybe I am a little lost. When I actually click on the ica file it launches this application which I would like to amend/edit...

I did an Open With and used notepad. Came up fine for me.

This is what I get when I open with...

Version=2
HttpBrowserAddress=www.control.com
HttpBrowserAddress=152.25.5.36
TcpBrowserAddress=152.25.5.35
TcpBrowserAddress2=152.25.5.36

[ApplicationServers]
PTS v3=

[PTS v3]
BrowserProtocol=HTTPonTCP
Address=webapps.controlsg.com
InitialProgram=#PTS v3
ScreenPercent=100
DesiredColor=2
TransportDriver=TCP/IP
WinStationDriver=ICA 3.0

Now when I click on the file, it opens an application where users log on an edit information. That is what I am looking to modify. Is it modified in access or vb or something like that??

Jim P.

The ica file is created by Citrix to automatically launch a published application or desktop in citrix environment.

This is the application "InitialProgram=#PTS v3" that is being launched by the ICA file. But that published appplication has to exist on your citrix farm.

excuse me..

What is an ICA file?
(Citrix) Independent Computer Architecture

Did some research:

Is it similar to the old windows 3.x .PIF files?

Thanks!
