Jim,

In this day and age I might suggest a virtual PC for each user.  That
way it appears as if each user has his/her own PC but it is actually a
virtual machine running on virtual server on a server.

All,
 
  Anyone have *direct* experience with Access and Citrix Access
Essentials?
 
  I have a client that uses Access 2000/2003 FE's against a SQL Server
2000 BE and is currently moving from AZ to OH.  As part of that move,
their moving to all new hardware.
 
  The services company taking care of the hardware is strongly
suggesting that they use Citrix Access Essentials to handle remote
users.  Currently they are using remote desktop to support remote users.
They only have a few remote users at present (approx 5) and their will
be a dedicated server to take care of them.
 
  I don't have any direct experience with Citrix although I've heard
good things about it over the years.  My concerns are that it's not
clear to me exactly what/how it does things in comparison to a straight
RDP session,
which I understand fairly well (even printing<g>).   
 
  End user deployment and use will be extremely simplified as they will
access the apps through a standard web browser, but it's the under the
hood
stuff that worries me.    
 
  Any thoughts, comments, etc.
 
Jim.
