>I don't understand your first sentence. I would love to take a VFP test to be certified but MSFT keeps changes the rules and haven't been able to take a VFP exam since November. Finding a place that trains in it is next to impossible. I heard someone say that xBASE was a 'dirty' word because it is so hard to find good programmers. It is Catch-22. How can there be any good programmers if no one teaches the newbies to be good programmers?

People weren't taking the VFP 3.0 exam. It was two versions old.

Wrong. VFP 6.0 was released in Sept. 1998... 6 months ago. VFP IS being taken seriously. I've been in meetings with BillG, who spoke highly of VFP. The VFP exams are currently being developed...there will be 2 examns. There will also be 2 training classes, also under development.
