Unfortunately, VB does not corner the market in people passing themselves off as proficient. I have seen this too. People who call themselves VFP-qualified who don't know what a class is.


>>As a team leader I'd be much more inclined to hire MCP/MCSD-certified developers. It may be a commercial program but at least it is a uniform yardstick with which to measure someone's skill set. I've seen more than one person pass themselves off as VFP experts, only to discover later that they can just barely spell "Foxpro".
