Are you saying that an MCP status will only impress your mother? < gd&r >

>>As far as the VFP exams being a better bet for today - I am not sure how you can justify that in light of:
>>
>>1. The exams cover a version of the software that is 2 versions old;
>>2. Is in a track that is being retired and ;
>>3. Has nothing to do with .NET

>Assume that I want to impress my mother that I am an "MCP" and that I want to attain this status this before I visit her next time. To do this I will need to take an MCP exam next week, with a weekend's review time. Given my knowledge of .NET, SQL Server, networks and the Windows OS, none of which are enough to pass an exam given only a weekend's review time, and the fact that I have "reasonable" competence in VFP, choosing 70-155 or 70-156 for the exam I take next week is my "best bet" to come out with MCP status and impress my mother within a short time frame. That's what I meant by "a better bet."
