Help, no answer in the other section.. Citrix Question!

[BruceJ]

I've been patient, but haven't had any responses to my post in another section.

My qestion is with Citrix and FMP5.0 It appears that you coudl use a regular copy of FMP5 and publish it over citrix. Then have multiple people access the files. I tried it with two uses and it seemed to work fine. Is this too simple? Or am I gonna run into lots of problems not leting one copy of FMP act as the host and all the others connecting via TCP/IP as guests?

I'm not familiar with Citrix, so any info would be great.

Yes, you can do this with Citrix. If you have multiple users, it is better to server the FM files from another machine running FM Server and access these hosted files from multiple windows sessions on the Citrix server. Legally you will need a Windows and FileMaker license for each simultaneous Citrix session. Citrix is not a cheap program. The cost of a copy of FM Server will not add much to the cost of a Citrix setup. I've heard numbers from about $ 5,500 to $ 15,000. Citrix is sold exclusively through VARs.
