[AccessD] Citrix environment

I just put a two line batchfile somewhere in each user's  personal storage area:

@copy \\Server\Share\ApplicationFE.mde
@Start ApplicationFE.mde

Then put a shortcut to that file on their desktop.

I don't worry about whether there is a new version available, I just grab a fresh copy every 
time they run the application.  It doesn't put much load on the network generally.  

One advantage is that  you don't get the FE starting to bloat if you are using local Temp 
tables for batch input, complex data manipulations etc.
