OK guys I am in need of some assistance here. I have a standard FE/BE
database set up here. ABout 10-20 users have the FE installed on
tehir machines all linked to the common BE on the server. All
standard stuff. The network people are setting up some new
restrictions on the LAN and as a result they want to do the
following. I am not sure what the data risks are if any and how to
ensure that what they plan to do is 'safe'. They want to puit the FE
and BE on the server. Then use Citrix for each user to run the common
FE. Can y'all shed some light on this and give me any feedback as to
what concerns you might have if you were presented with this as the
current plan of attack?
Thanks,

Looks like a bad idea, especially the 'use Citrix for each user to run the common FE' part.
Using Citrix is possible, but also with Citrix each user should have his/hers own FE.
The concern is corruption of course, but also if you are using temptables in the FE you will get *very* concerned....
So you will need about 10-20 FE's on that Citrix server (e.g. each in the user homedir).
Most networking guys don't like that. You will need to convince them.
A Google search on the topic will give you lots of information.

So the fact that this is running with the citrix piece in the puzzle
changes nothing about the common concerns of using a shared FE?
Can you give me few sites that discuss the issue of data corruption in
this sort of set up please?

Changes nothing indeed. Don't use a shared FE in a multi-user environment

I don't know of sites about this, but it has been discussed very often here.

The network people are under the mistaken assumption that the FE is loaded
for each user like a EXE. It does not, Access load each part of the FE as
needed keeping the MDB file open. Any unexpected shutdown of one of the
shared FEs can cause corruption. Temp tables in the FE will be shared by all
users. The issues are the same for Citrix / Terminal server as on a
workstation. They should follow or at least consider Microsoft's
recommendations just like they would when setting up other network
application.

An application I wrote has been deployed on Citrix, and the Citrix admin

I think the use of globals is worrisome in this case. Anybody have any

I have a VB.NET form with a DataGrid. When I toggle to Excel (for

really slow. You can see the repainting happening. When I toggle back
to Excel, it does not do that. The repaint is quick. I'm running this
within a Citrix environment. The scrolling of the DataGrid is slow
also.
Would anyone know how I can fix or even determine what is going on?

Hi,
I'm putting together an application in vb.net. I will ultimately need
people to be able to run it from home (Normally we're in one office). I can
store it on a file server, but this raises the problem of a home user needing
the .net framework.
I seem to have 2 choices, and have no experience in either.
First, since we use Citrix here, I could publish it as a Citrix application.
