I also thought on two txt files but then you could find the awser for the question easely, and its very dificult to show multiple choises for the questions.

Try using Excel and a DAO data control (yes, I know that it is better to use ADO, but it is quite easy to use DAO in this case.)

Can't you just make a database in VB anway using the Database control, I've sen it done very easily before I'll have to see if I still have the project files.

I can't be sure about the pictures thing but i remember its quite easy to use, its declared something like:Private DBase as Database
Private RecSet as RecordSetOr something similar :confused:. I can't tell you for sure because I'm not at my PC with VB on at the moment, I have guests staying over and there staying in the room with that PC in :( No worries.
