I'm not familiar with citrix in the way that ya'll use it, but I am very good at debugging foxpro errors running under citrix within the firewall.
It has been my experience that most it groups are not experts with stuff like this and they mainly just set it up and keep it running, but when exceptions happen they call in a contractor or the vendor.

They weren't the typical arrogant IT guys you sometimes meet, and they weren't implying that I was an idiot. It was just frustrating, that's all. --- On Fri, 3/12/10, Gilbert M.
