Hello to all!

I have a problem, im creating a trivia game, but i dont have acess to Microsoft office, so i canīt use Acess, do you have any idea hopw can i create a database for questions and awsers. 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.

I someone could help me iīll apreciate it.

The best thing to do is get your hands on Access because it will save you ALOT of headaches and time.

If you are set on using files, I would see the section in the MSDN library titled:
Using Random File Access
so that you can store a data structure for each question.

If you're concerned about security, then encrypt the files.

Hello numibesi,

You could also make up two files and then include then in a Resource file Vb has a resource editor included, and VB5 has one that you can get from MS and there Vb site. The resource file is added to your exe file so you don't have to worry about anybody finding the data.

Good luck,

Roger
