Hi Rick
I've not used Citrix, but have considered doing so.
Not being rude at all, but: "who says" each connected user must have an
Access licence? Is that a Citrix requirement, or an Access one?
I consider it a common sense issue. Terminal Server and Citrix solve a lot of
technical problems and have many administrative advantages, but they don't
absolve users from paying for the software they are running.
From Microsoft:

Note: Every device that connects to a terminal server will need to be properly
licensed for its own terminal server usage, in addition to being licensed
appropriately to use other applications and servers. Use terminal servers to
centrally manage and support the deployment of Office suites in your
organization. Dedicate a license for Office for every computer on which you plan
to use Office. Examples of computers that might run Office on a terminal server
include Windows-based workstations, Macintoshes, and UNIX workstations. The
terminal servers themselves do not require Office licenses, unless someone
sitting at the console will be running Office.
Scenario 1:
A customer has 50 Windows-based workstation devices in a call center and would
like to use Office XP on all these workstations. Two terminal servers support
the 50 Windows-based workstations. The customer will need to acquire 50 Office
licenses—one for each computer that will run Office. Even if a workstation is
expected to run Office only infrequently, the customer will still need to
acquire and dedicate an Office license for that workstation. If 20 of these
workstation will never run Office, then the customer will only need to acquire
30 licenses.
