I would *not* expect a job candidate to get it all right -- that is a lot to remember.

My point was that asking that kind of question will be very revealing about level of experience or study. Someone who at least knows the names of more than half of the form events, and knows something *close* to the correct firing sequence is probably someone with experience in VFP-style coding.
