We're in the second day of a two-day nightmare. The second night,
actually.....

An MS Access application that's been working pretty well in a Citrix
environment has started getting flaky post-changing Citrix servers.
("Citrix Server" being a logical PC within a VMWare scheme on some
sort of industial-strenght computer).

What's worse is that the problem application works a-ok on my
developer PC and the PC next to it: both minitowers.

But the problem application exibits it's bad behavior on a laptop -
probably every laptop that uses it if the logs are tb believed, but
definately on this one laptop as actually witnessed.

All three situations are replicable - having been done six times each
absolute miniminum.
We'vs also tried with my own userid (the developer), a Windows Server
admin's ID, and one of the application user's IDs. No correlation
found with ID, only with the box.

What I'm trying to tell everybody concerned is that to the API calls
and MS Access VBA code within the problem application it doesn't make
any difference whatsover what the user's PC is.

i.e. There is nothing, absolutely *NOTHING* in the environment seen by
the MS Access app running in a user session on the Citrix server that
is influenced by the PC that the client is running on. Nothing,
nada, bupkis, zilch.

I really don't know enough to make such an assertion - but it seems
logical and I've been making it - rather loudly at times.

Yet we've got this difference in behavior between two minitowers and
the laptop.

So, how about it? Am I lying to these guys?

About 0200 this morning it finally dawned on me that at least the PC's
graphics driver must be a player bc the Citrix session automagically
sizes it's screen to the PC's screen size - and the problem
application's screens are likewise resized - at least if they are
maxed.
