Hi,

I have a client that is goint to use Citrix to remotely access our DF3.2
application (running with P.SQL but i guess that does not matter).
Normally our application write reports directly to LPT1: or LPT2:
How will this work with some clients running Citrix?

Jacob,

We use Citrix with our Dataflex 3.1c for AIX, and Dataflex 2.3b for DOS
applications.

You need to make sure that LPT1: is mapped correctly, and that you send
the correct esc codes. We're strugling to keep up with our users in that
respect, as they changes printers almost every day.

Some users like to work from home, and they use a lot of different
printers.

With our AIX solution we print directly to a file, and the file is sent
directly to the printer, not using LPT1.

Best regards

Henrik
