Hi people, I have written a fairly basic programme (which uses the wonderful fuzzy match by user al_b_cnu) which is a quiz. Various People can write questions in the spreadsheet, and then hide them, and other people can answer the questions, and the results will be saved with their name etc. So far so good. (see code below)

Code:
Sub Quiz()
'number of rounds and questions in total
Dim rounds As Integer
Dim questions As Integer
'current question and round number
Dim qnum As Integer
Dim rnum As Integer
'the number of questions in this round
Dim rq As Integer
'the actual question and answer, as recorded
Dim q As String
Dim a As String
'the answer given by the user
Dim attempt
'the number of questions answered
Dim qdone As Integer
'the number of correct answers
Dim right As Integer
'the name of the current round
Dim title As String
'a written score for the results (correct / answered)
Dim Score As String
'number of passes
Dim pass As Integer
'codename for the quiz
Dim quizname As String
Dim fso
'The name of the saved results file
Dim file As String
'a tester to see whether the quiz has been done before - compares with file
Dim oldname As String
'a number which is used with oldname to scan all scores
Dim i As Integer
'the match score between attempt and answer spelling
Dim spelling As Double
'start at the beginning:
pass = 0
right = 0
qnum = 1
rnum = 0
qdone = 0
rounds = Sheets("Questions").Range("G24")
questions = Sheets("Questions").Range("H24")

  CreateBackup:=False
  Sheets("Results").Protect Password:="grifter"
  ActiveWorkbook.Save
  MsgBox "File saved as " & quizname & ".xls", vbInformation, "Quiz Completed - Well Done!"
 
  'Close the original questionnaire, without saving results there too
  ScreenUpdating = False
  Workbooks("Quizm.xls").Close savechanges:=False
  ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

The trouble is, the inputbox is pretty poor, and I want to use a userform. I have made the userform, which has a frame with the question number, a label with the question, a text entry for the answer and three buttons: Answer, Pass and Exit.

How do I convert the above code so that it can test which of the buttons the user has pressed? Do I have to seperate it all out into different subs, one for Answer_click, one for Pass_click and one for Exit_click? If I do this, how do I maintain the round and question counter?
