Since the list is slow I'd like to get some thoughts from you. A consultant that I work for is high on converting his clients over to using Citrix for the RBase apps. The conversion has not been exactly smooth.
One of the latest things to be re-worked is what to do when you are printing to PDFs or creating text files that you want unique for that user. For instance, the program prints an Accounts Receivable report to a PDF file automatically. In stand-alone days, we would call it AccountsReceivable.PDF and put it in a c:\temp directory on that user's workstation. Obviously no multi-user issues. So now they're using Citrix. If we kept the same code, it would go to a c:\temp directory on the server and one person's report could overwrite another person's report. We are probably going to create a subdirectory on the network called USERS, with directories under that for each user's login name, and put reports there. We worked with a user on this, and it was fine if the file came up automatically but if the user had to later search through My Computer to find the file, he ended up all over the place which is dangerous. And when he wanted to copy the file to his laptop, he copied it to the server's c:\temp directory; he didn't understand the way Citrix presented his local drives. For those of you using Citrix or TS as a normal means of accessing your apps -- how do you do this? Karen
