I tried fpv5.0 on Windows Mobile 5 for you this morning, out of a
combination of curiosity and masochism, i guess. no-go.
.bat programs difficult to impossible to run, and binaries complained
they were not Windows CE exectutables

If you are forced to do this - i guess older filePro and dos-emulator
is one option - also, you can run it off another box from your phone
via VNC or Putty, both of which have versions for windows mobile.

  Joe,
   
  Wow, thanks for trying.  I may be making a lot more out of this than it's worth.  I am usually always close to a computer at work and home.  I was going to use this when out in one of our plants or when travelling to check inventory, work orders and machine loads.  But I can do this by exporting the data to Excel (which the Treo comes with) or by creating html reports from fp and calling them on the Treo.

  Again, thanks for trying.
