>What is MVP? Is MS evaluating delivered VFP projects to prospect for MVP's. How does MS know who the MVPs are?

Terry,

Just to add a bit to what Evan told you, anyone (or at least this used to be the case) can nominate someone for the award. Often, however, other MVPs will nominate someone. From there, Microsoft personnel evaluate a nominee's contribution to the community. If it meets their criteria, the person receives the award.
