Questions Database

I have a similar need...and the link seems to have expired.

I have a series of quizzes and want to make one quiz that contains all the questions. This idea of importing from Access is interesting.

Thinking if I knew how, I could export all the quizzes I currently have to Access. Then import them all in.

That will help with a subject for which I accidentally made two quizzes. They are both pretty good so would like to put all 20 questions into one quiz and have it pick ten each time.

Thanks for your help.

You can import questions in Quizmaker '09.

In Quizmaker 2 you can add questions from one quiz to another by doing this (make a backup of your AQM files. This is a use at your own risk and is not supported by Articulate.)

1. Open each AQM file in NotePad.
2. Note where the questions are in the file.
3. Copy and paste the questions from one quiz to another in NotePad.
4. Save your AQM file and exit NotePad.

the link on post #11 should still work...

Thank you, Justin. I found elsewhere on the forum another solution which I used and worked well.

Same idea as with notepad but opening with excel.

Then you just replace the questions or, in my case, copied questions from the quiz I wanted to combine, pasted them in and then changed the numbers.

Then saved as the .aqm file.

Still need to trouble-shoot a bit though because there are now some random " marks in questions or in answers or in feedback. Any idea what those would be?

I opened the .aqm in Excel again and did not see where those would be coming from.
