Remote OLE / Automation?

We have a Delphi app that drives MS-Word via OLE (Automation) to generate formatted documents. These also contain application derived data inserted via mailmerge files.

We have deployed this app under Citrix and it works fine, but MS licensing requires that every individual user have an MS-Word license on the server, despite the fact that they already have a valid license on their workstation which is of course the Citrix client!

Is there a solution based on a form of remote OLE between the Delphi app on the Citrix server, and MS-Word on the client workstation?

T.I.A.

 
Did you find a solution? I think I will have a similar need. The users run outlook on their client machine and a .net winforms app on citrix. I need to be able to use Com to control Outlook from the app on citrix ...

Is this possible? Any ideas?

Thanks,

Michael
