I also was about to post a "get it anyway" message<g>. But I'd be totally honest with them that you currently have a lot of vfp but no Epos knowledge - but that you are willing and smart enough to learn. There was a piece about depending too much on finding the candidate with exactly the right experience for a job cutting out the best applicants (those willing *and* able to learn, who can write good SW in any language instead of not having learnt it in the one language they had expiereince with in the last 6 years<g>) - but I haven't bookmarked it. From the general tone I remember it might have been Spolsky, but it rings no clear bell. OTOH Joel has tips on finding the right candidate and as his arguments are often more elegant than mine, so take a read IAC ;-) Offer those arguments fitting to yourself to the prospective employer
good luck
