>I found out the other day that Microsoft is retiring both certification exams for next June. Does anybody know if there's going to be a replacement for these or is this the beginning of the end of Visual Foxpro ? Personnally I find it hard to believe they'd do that specially comming out with version 8 but one never knows.

Hi Don,

No replacement exams have been announced. The turnout for the 70-155 and 70-156 exams was so light that the numbers just don't justify the expense and effort required to create new exams. In other words, the lack of new exams is largely due to the participation FoxPro community in the VFP6 exams.

Please note that all Visual Studio 6 exams will retire - Visual FoxPro is not being singled out.
