first, how am i going to be able to retrieve the results from the dynamically created select names? i will have them named 1, 2 and 3 (taken from the QuestionID)...
If I may reply to my own question. lol
After some hours of reading and trial and error I've been able to set up a single query to display each questions with a drop down box of answers.

When running the query to display all the...
thanks for that link. i found a better way to separate the albums and the tracklist...working on a couple tables for those now...
