Determining if user is accessing database via a browser

Featured Replies

I have a number of databases that run across a WAN, using FileMaker Server 8 Advanced. Unfortunately for some users access can be very slow. To make it easier/faster for them to quickly look up an individual record, I would like to encourage them to access the database via IWP. On log-in, I intended to redirect them to a simpler page. But I can seem to find a function within FileMaker that allows my opening script to know if the person has logged on using their browser (or IWP), rather than as an ordinary client. I would have thought there would have been a "Get" function for this purpose. Does anyone know I can identify that the person is using IWP?
