So if your shop was developing just in FoxPro you wouldn't hire anyone that didn't already know FoxPro?

>I wouldn't hire them for a position that required knowledge of foxpro. I would ask them to demonstrate their knowledge in the applicable language/tool. If I needed someone who was knowledgeable in C# I would ask for a demonstration in C# then.

>>>In a sense I agree with you. I would rather sit the person down and ask him/her to create a parent-child relationship and design a form (or two forms) that would display the parent and child records. That could be done within a half hour easily on a system with VFP on it. I think most programmers could do it within 5-10 minutes unless they wanted to get fancy. Then I might ask him/her to create a class and describe when it would be used and why. That little bit of work would tell me a lot.
