LaCerte Master Options in a Citrix Environment

Has anyone or does anyone know of a way to utilize the Master Options of the LaCerte program in a Citrix environment? Installing LaCerte in a Citrix environment requires the "Standalone" install right now and that is preventing me from using Master Options (I believe anyway). Just wondering if there may be some kind of work around or if I may not be setting something up properly.

We have Lacerte ( several years ) on set up on opur Citrix server. The applicationa are set up as workstation setups on the server, thus using the master optoions from the existing server setup for access, calculations and rights. The only real issue we have is when individual users access the program and change the client view or filter options. If they don't change them back, other users pick up those options.

Thanks richm93. I'm afraid that would be an issue for us. That is why we separated out the option files for everyone.

We have been using Lacerte with Citrix for many years. Install on the Citrix server as "network". This sets the data paths, master options, etc. Now do a workstation install on the same Citrix server. When users launch a new Citrix session, they will launch as workstations. Here's the kicker (I have reported this "bug" to Lacerte numerous times). Every "user" in Citrix has a unique "windows" folder. In my world, it is my H: drive. In your world it may be different. This is how Citrix keeps track of unique .ini files, by dropping them in your unique "windows" folder. Lacerte drops a file into my H:\windows folder called lacerte.ini. Inside that file is my unique machine name so Lacerte can track my unique user options. Here's the bug. When you launch Lacerte for the very first time each season, Lacerte grabs the server name instead of your user name and drops it into your unique lacerte.ini file. In other words, every user who logs in will get the same server name, so they will be forced to share the same Lacerte option files. My work-around is that every January, every day of the month, I scan our users H: drives looking for new lacerte.ini files. I open the files in Notepad and change the server name to that users unique name. Problem solved. From that point forward, that user will get their own Lacerte user option files. The inside of that file will look like this

[NETWORK}

MachineName=??server??

Just change ??server?? to that persons user name (make sure each one is unique). Send me an email if this doesn't clear things up.

Alan, does this only happen to you at the beginning of the season? I have the same problem and it seems to happen to me after every update.

 I am having trouble getting versions 08 and back installed into citrix. Several calls to Tech support have all gotten me different information each time. Any detailed suggestions would be welcome.
