Oh come on. Don't blame the 'Fox' people in total. Many companies are still in DOS. Other companies still use only 3.0 and I know of at least one who refuses to go to 6.0 even if 6.0 would solve some errors from VFP 5.0. Also company management is such that they will not let their people off from work to take a 4 hour exam. It might make them too 'attractive' to another company looking to hire. On the other hand, some companies rely on the fact that VFP jobs are not as plentiful as VB jobs, so why give those poor programmers any benefits not needed to retain (rather than retrain) them.

PS: I was lucky to find a testing center open on Saturdays but I suspect that may not be true all over the country.

>>Agreed, I know of 3 here in Orlando which is 2 more than when I took the 3.0 beta, but that is low compared to the number of people I know of that do FP work here. On the other hand, it may indicate how few have switch to VFP 6.0 or work for companies that still do not support VFP in the first place.

>>>Statistically, they need about 200 people to take each test to properly score it. Frankly, I'd be really disappointed if we didn't get 200 people for each. Certification is a hot item with some MS folks and it'd be nice to see us Fox folks to stand up and be counted.
