Make sure you look into the transform files that you need to install when installing Access... this is done for all micorosoft applications. You can find more information from the microsoft website. Be careful of what you can do.. a single installation can trash your citrix server.

I have had a very serious issue with Citrix/MetaFrame and Access2000. I installed a Point of Sale application on a site with 3 user stations. The setup of the files was (Application and temp local table file) sitting on the server in a designated home directory for each user, while the shared data file was sitting on the route of the server. The problem was that if 2 users were entering transactions at the same time, their work was jumping between workstations, sometimes disappearing completely, sometimes showing up on 2 stations at a time, and sometime leaving the source system and showing up on another. I have found no solution to this problem as of yet, and I am about to give up. I wish I had better news for you.

Update. Long since, (over a year now), i have had the access 2000 app running on the metaframe server. the application is split insofar as the data bases are seperate from the app code (actually there are 5 seperate .mdb's in seperate folders all linked) and they are all on the server (not on a seperate file server).

There are currently 6 users and it all works great>
