    I am making an MCQ based quiz in VB 2008. I would like to have such an environment that picks up questions / answer options from a database (MS ACCESS) file and displays it to the user one after another. Say the quiz contains 20 questions. How can this be done?

      Write some code to do it? :) Try searching Google, MSDN or this site - you'll find plenty of info.

          I am a beginner to it. Well the problem i am facing is that i can't find a proper procedure of how to link the questions with the help of databases to the VB Form. That is if i want the label's text to be same as the variable say 'Question1' i would write text.label1= Question1 Now i want this thing to do with Access Database Files. Any reference Article or sample code would be quite helpful.
