>I don't know what seems to be the problem in our area but to my disappointment there is no VFP cert exam. I am now studying VB/SQL Server combined just to take certification in the near future. How many months of self studying (3-4 hours a day, 5 days a week) it will take me then? BTW, it so happened that I'm developing a VB/SQL Server app.

Jess,
Bummer about the lack of VFP tests. I don't know why a certified testing facility can't get the VFP exams.

If you are spending that much time studying and you are also using the product, I don't see why you shouldn't take the first exam in a month (if that long).

Good luck!
