... I understand that a person who asks a question is an OP and that the highest position here is an MVP, but what do both of those stand for (also MCP), please? Presumably, the M stands for Microsoft, perhaps the P in MCP for Professional? I wouldn't think of them as ranks or positions. OP stands for "Original Poster" (the one who made the first post in the discussion thread. MVP stands for "Most Valuable Professional", an award given annually by Microsoft to people who consistently provide high-quality, free support to users of various MS products -- mostly online. MCP stands for "Microsoft Certified Professional", a technical certification that can only be received by taking a test. There are other, similar certifications. An MVP or MCP can be an OP, naturally; even though the MVPs may spend most of their time answering questions, they also post the occasional question. Here's a link to a web page on the MVP program: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ -- Dirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP Access tips: www.datagnostics.com/tips.html (please reply to the newsgroup) |
