I don't exactly understand your question but I think I might. Your using a .ini file to store questions and their possible answers, right? So, what I'd do, is go to the tutorials area of this web site, do a search for how to read a .ini file, make a list in your program of the names of the questions and then just go through that list, having those names being the same names you use for the questions in the .ini file.
At least... I think that's what you mean, hope this helps!

Open QuizFile For Input As #1
   Do While Not(EOF(1))
      Line Input #1, QandA
   MsgBox QandA
   Loop
Close

This will loop trough every line in the textfile and display each line in a msgBox, it would be the best to store the answers/questions like

Who's tha man? Jop,You,Me

And use the split function (if you're using VB6) to split the ,(the Answers) and a space (the Question)

You could load them in a ComboBox then by doing

'Loop trough available answers (you have to code it yourself :)
For Answer1 To Answer3
    ComboBox1.AddItem Answers
'(can't test it now, look at the variables to check wich one)
Next Answer1

You could also store the A's in an array
Hope it helped a bit.

Waste of code , use an initiation file unless security is really an issue.
