Actually, there is still a VFP exam until November 1. If you've already passed the exam it's good until October, 1999. MS has said there will be a 6.0 exam but hasn't said when. However, my guess is that they'll have it out long before a newly formed group could get together, learn how to create a certification exam, create the exam, set up an infrastructure for administering the exam, etc.

>In response to the current lack of a MS VFP exam, significant VFP user groups should establish, promote, and market such a exam.
