    IS Dynamics SL 2011 FP1 SP2 supported in citrix?

    We are in the process of going from sl 2011 to fp1 sp2.

    Client on server works fine. Also If client is installed directly from wrkstn folder, it works fine. But when try to publish through shortcut, errors out

    But when launch client using shortcut in citrix, the client loads, but when we try to open any screen gets error

    "Error loading VBA project"

    Any help would really be appreciated

    I'm not a Citrix admin, so I can't speak expertly on what it can sense in terms of activity, but If SL has an open window, then it is holding at least one SQL connection open.

    Best results will come from encouraging the users to close the apps when they are done.

    Butch, what about setting a timeout on the Xenapp server? In the old Metaframe days, you could set this and it would logout the user after inactivity. So far, Xenapp and SL seem to be having some sort of communication that keeps this from happening.

    We successfully installed Dynamics SL 2011 on a x64 XenApp 6.5 server.

    So I would say, it could be supported on XenApp 6.0...

    Very generally, We are using Citrix in my largest customer's site. We have the clients for SL and MR loaded on the Citrix server to publish, then the App server is connected to via a mapped drive from the Citrix sessions.

    Things that the users are going to stumble upon relate to Save File dialogs showing them drives on the Citrix box instead of their local system, so you'll have to consider that in your design. Feel free to contact me if you want to know more detailed info. The Citrix guy here might have 2 cents worth to share as well.
