>Did you write him off, or decide he was trainable? (just curious)

well, we'll probably move on to another candidate. he was a nice enough guy, but he told less then the truth on his resume. He said he had "extensive" exposure to VFP. We are willing to pay good salary (about 50k for only 1.5 - 2 yrs experience) so, we need someone who is a little more competant.
