I'm using an older software with a dbase database. I'd like to deploy it as a remoteapp, and from my testing this seems quite possible.

Update: This application would be accessed over the internet and not directly on the same network. Additionally the users would be using a variety of devices.

My question is this:

This application generates excel and csv files, how can I force remote app to save these files to the clients machine and not save anything generated (or through a save dialog) to the server?

You should be able to access the client machine folders, and then write to those. Given the application vintage you may need to wrap it in a batch file that sets up the mapped drives.

Alternately, create persistent mappings in a regular RDP session. It should also be possible to create mappings to the \tsclient\? virtual folders created in the session during a script. This way, an application that needs to access mapped drives can reach the folders on the client machine.
