Hi, I'm new to VB and I am supposed to be writing a program for my instructor using VB 2008. It is sort of like a quiz program. You build the "light bulb" program but instead of names and colors, it consists of two forms. Question 1 with a "next" button and the second form for Question 2 with a "previous" button. I have no idea how to link the two so that when you click "next" it goes to the second page and vice versa. Also when someone clicks on the right answer to the question, the light bulb is supposed to turn on when it's right but stay off if it's wrong. Can someone please help me as I have been trying to figure this out all day. Thanks in advance! :)

On the next button:
Me.Close()
Me.Dispose()
Form2.Show()What is the light bulb? An image? Do you have a "light on" and a "light off" image?
If you do have 2 images, a quick way to get the correct image to show would be to paste the images on top of each other and code on the optCorrectAnswer_CheckedChanged event,
If optCorrectAnswer.Checked = True Then
imageOn.Visible = True
imageOff.Visible = False
Else
imageOn.Visible = False
imageOff.Visible = True
End If mamabuttercup 0 Newbie Poster
OK so this is what I have for the first "page".
Public Class VBQuiz

LightBulbPictureBox.Visible = True

LightBulbPictureBox2.Visible = True
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click

PrintForm1.PrintAction = Printing.PrintAction.PrintToPreview
PrintForm1.Print()
