Myriam,
A PDA is too limited in the processing power and memory to handle Citrix applications. This includes all PDA software versions, regardless of additional memory expansions. The Citrix apps take up too much residential memory in order to run properly. Citrix isn't a PDA friendly *prc or *pdf file. There is no PDA friendly interface, unless it is a written script. Please let me know how it goes if you find anything different.

Myriam,
I accidently typed a f instead of a b on the *.pdb file extension. As we both know, a *.pdf file is for Adobe, and has no relevance to your question.

We have run Citrix applications on PocketPC 2002. The performance is great, but most apps require more screen real estate than what is available on the PDA, so it may be clumsy to use.
But, in response to your real question... in order to sync with a Citrix app you would need to install and configure the sync utility (Palm HotSync, MS ActiveSync) on the Citrix server and set it up to profile on a per user basis. We were syncing Palms with Outlook but it was difficult to maintain and support. One last catch, Citrix can't map to local USB ports, so the PDA must communicate through the serial port on the host computer/terminal.
