Hi Ellen,
You can retrofit that code without too much trouble to have multiple
right answers. If you have many "multiple" right answers or there are
lots of questions, it might get unwieldy but not too bad.
Using that existing structure- if you put the multiple right answers
on the same line separated by some unique character that would not be
in the answer (like | -pipe) then you can test if the answer = each
item in the line. Items are determined by "the item delimiter" - the
default for this is comma - but you can change it to any char. (I
suppose a brute force method would be to simply check if each line
"contains" the answer- depending on the nature of the Q/As, that
might work, but its kinda nasty).
So:
oldDelim = the itemDelimiter
the itemDelimiter = "|"
numright = 0
repeat with i = 1 to correct.line.count
thisLine = correct.line[i]
repeat with myItem = 1 to thisLine.item.count
if value(thisLine.item[myItem] = gAnswerList[i]) then
numright = numright + 1
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
end repeat
the itemDelimiter = oldDelim
end
You should probably store the correct answers in a global if you need
to check them a lot- save a little time.

An easy though not by any means foolproof way is to just use setPref
to write a little date file to their hard drive (assuming its not on
CD). Then check it each time the program launches and compare to
current date
