Write an ASP with a form in it.  In the form with your quiz and add a
hidden field set to 0.  When the submit is pressed, use Javascript to
test for valid entries and if valid set the hidden field to 1. Now for
the ASP part.  Test for the hidden field to be 1 with a request.form.
If one, add your record else the form will show.  The quiz changes will
either have to be in the ASP itself each month or build a set of quizes
in a database and display the questions in the form. As to tracking
previous scores, either a cookie or make the person put their name on
the form itself and add a user table to the database.  Cookies will
work, but a user may have them disabled or have deleted all their
cookies during their 3000 mile oil change.
