True enough the difference is much greater but I know if I paid to take 5 and it was over in just about a year? That sucks. That's also part of why I think they'll roll people. I'm sure the VB6 cert is rolling to VB.net, well I;m not sure but from what I've seen of their certification practices it does track. I think MS is like 2 versions before a persons cert is retired. Either way I know where I'll be, in a chair taking the MX cert. One thing I am sure of is a rolled 4.5 won't grandfather LOL. Under the same NDA so yeah I hear ya LOL.
And you're very right about the difference in ALLR and MACR... Sometimes the difference is less than subtle :) J.

Remember, you talked to somebody at *Allaire*, not Macromedia. There is a subtle, yet distinguishable difference, and times have certainly changed from the Allaire days. I would say without hesitation that the feature enhancement from 4.5 to 5 is squat compared to the enhancements from CF 5 to CF MX. Yes, Neo still uses the same tag-based features we're all used to, but the extensibility, flexibility, and sheer power of Neo blows away any previous version. At the risk of the NDA, I'll stop there, but I think you get my point. Although, as you said, CF MX is a bit of a ways off, let alone an official certification test for it, I would guess. So getting certified is never a bad idea. Regards, ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
