>>I just passed my first MCP exam with a score of 844 out of 1000 on the VFP Desktop exam. The format of the exam was simpler than I expected, but there were still some tough questions. That's probably all I should say about it.

>>MCP is not that big of a deal among the gurus in this forum. But, I have come a long, long way with my FoxPro knowledge in the past year. That's thanks to FoxTalk, FoxPro Advisor, Hentzenwerke books, and especially the good folks in forums like this one. The Study Guide by Evan and Cindy was a big help as well.

I found the study guide very helpful. I've done a lot of studying lately, but the book still filled in several gaps. I especially like the explanations of the five normal forms. The real world examples helped me get a handle on the meaning of each one for the first time. Perhaps the biggest help for me wasn't necessarily the answers you provided, but the fact that you understood and could explain the questions. When I read the test outline, "Establish the Development Environment" didn't mean that much to me. The book helped me to understand what they were looking for here and in other areas. In addition, I was able to read the guide and cram for the exam over a single weekend. I think you have a real winner here.

This weekend I'll be reviewing areas of the book related to the Distributed exam and hopefully pass it next week.
