Hi Jim

Will use the viewer for Visio.  I also have the same issue with MS Project.  I 
couldn't find a MS Viewer for Project.  Do you know if one exists?

Thanks

Why not just install the Visio viewer on the other servers? Or do they need to 
modify the files? If you instruct users to open visio first then it should also 
open the clicked on file I believe. 
The viewer is at

You may have to play around with content redirection a bit. Jim Kenzig

Hi

Is there a way to associate an extension (ie VSD) to an application on another 
server?  We have installed Visio on 1 Citrix server only so we can control who 
can access it via Published Applications.  The issue I have is some users try 
to launch Visio by double clicking a Visio file in Windows Explorer.  Windows 
Explorer cant associate the file to anything as Visio is not installed on the 
Citrix Servers (except one).  Is there a way for the file to open on the Citrix 
server that has Visio installed?


IM hoping I don't have to install Visio on all Citrix servers to get around 
this issue

Thanks
Angela
