I have always believed that if you can dream it, you can do it. But then I had this dream where the Irresistible Force meets the Immovable Object...

But to answer your question, why couldn't a program with a Swing GUI connect to a database? Have you looked at Sun's tutorials?

Thanks BigDaddy for the info..

I forgot to also ask can this be applied to the internet.

Sorry instead of trying to find this info on the internet its much faster to ask the experts on this site.

What do you need that CardLayout for? And why does that database come in
all of a sudden?

kind regards,

I though using the CardLayout would be faster to lay out plus each question would be one card. The db is used to track the students score ie results of all the quiz they have taken.
If this is not the best ideal can you direct me to which would be.

So you need to manage a set of quizes, a single quiz, questions for a quiz, a
single question (and the correct answer), users, a single user and the quizes
s/he did and the score(s) for the quizes taken and maybe a bit more.

Did you analyze your problem a bit? I just did a bit of 'entity' or class analisys.
That card layout is just a minor concern.

I sometimes dream that I can fly, but no matter how much I flap my arms the
next morning I don't notice a lift off. My wife laughs hysterically by that doesn't
count and my parrots squeaking like hell isn't an incentive either ...
