I am a novce with IWP so any help would be helpful.

We have a number of users (Mac and PC)accessing a database using IWP. Everything look like it supposed to. One user(store manager) will need to access the database with a Pocket PC(Window mobile 5, with an intergraded barecode scanner,he will be using it to read barecode data and perform search, etc). Initially I tried filemaker mobile 8 with ActiveSync but it doesn't allowed to update/sync more than one table per file and our enterprise virus scan/firewall make it unreliable to use. So IWP seem the solution at the time but Internet explorer Mobile doesn't even show the log in page of IWP. I tried Opera mobile and it's working better, login, see my database, etc. but all the various buttons in the status areas are list in one big long colunm with the data at the very end of it. I am thinking it might be possible to hide the status areas and built a layout page with buttons to do the various tasks when using the pocket PC. So my question is: Is it possible to incorporate a script or something at the IWP home page level so that would recognized the Pocket PC so it would automatically hide the status area and bring it to a special page just for the pocket PC. Every others users would see the IWP with the status area.

The problem is with the browsers on PocketPC, they don't support all the technologies that are used with IWP.

You can however use Remote Desktop on the PocketPC to view a FM file running on a workstation somewhere...
