Hi Craig, all........

>The most important thing is that everyone take the exam. This is the best way to show MS that VFP is important! Believe me when I tell you that MS executives are watching this very closely. If very few people take the VFP exam, it will not help things in the future. If lots take the exam, it will do wonders for us VFP developers and high-up MS execs will take notice.

I am allowed to admit I am the lead technical reviewer and contributor for the two VFP tests. I am allowed to say little else. I can comment, though, that your observations are 100% valid.

If we get a huge turnout on the betas and when the tests are in production, heads will turn at MS. This is our BIG chance to score points with MS.
