   This question really involves creating and reading/writing files in VB6 Pro   
      
   I am involved in business training and would like to develop a VB project   
   which will enable testing of candidates and provide proof of competency.   
   Each candidate will have their own laptop in training which they will use.   
      
   I want a program which will read a editable textfile (sort of thing which   
   could be copied into the computer via  a memstick), display the questions   
   and identify which is the correct response. Questions are multichoice type   
   with 1 correct answer. The candidate goes through ten questions until the   
   end until they get to a commit box where the results are calculated,   
   displayed and - more importantly - a file is generated recording the   
   candidates name (they would need to log into the program) and the final   
   result.   
      
   To increase flexibility, it would be nice to have a survey form after the   
   test and another textfile created from the response. Survey results may have   
   to accommodate "comments" texts as well.   
      
   These created files would be copied off to a memstick and taken to another   
   "Lecturers" computer and preferably imported to an Excel sheet.   
      
   The text file with the questions/answer must be easily editable (Security is   
   not an issue with this project), an advancement of this would be to pick 10   
   from a list of 20+ questions at random.   
      
   It may be possible that this system could be used to cover many different   
   subjects, so it may require separate Q & A files - or one where the   
   questions are separated.
