MessageRoz,
Mostly I was tweaking your nose, which of course I am known for enjoying.
DBA has discussed in the past building a "test" that we could publish for
the use of our members when hiring employees. I'd love to see what you have
come up with.

Did you want the test, BTW? Or are you just tweaking my nose?

Subject: [AccessD] Technical test for developers
I've put together a wee test to give people I'm interviewing for a
position as a systems developer later in the week.
Not having done this before, I'd be interested in getting some input
from y'all. This is pitched at people with about 5 years experience, who
will be expected to do a lot of work in Access (but nothing very taxing),
some light (but important) SQL Server dev & admin, a fair amount of Office
integration and ideally will know enough VB to show me a thing or 2.
It should take about half an hour (I think it's probably too long at
the moment). I'm more interested in intelligent & practical thinking than
100% correct answers (I'll be going through the interviewees' answers with
them at length). If you'd be willing to road test it for me let me know and
I'll mail you the word doc.
TIA
Roz
