I'm not all that knowledgeable about the latest in web development...but certainly a web browser basied GUI and CGI , even Python scripts could work I'd think :P

Apparently, you don't have C++ Builder or Delphi on your machine.(or even Visual Basic for that matter) If you did, you wouldn't post such a message!
You're entirely correct in believing that C++ Builder is the 'engine' of your dreams for quiz making software. Database support is done mainly by a pair of drag'n'drop components. (The same is true for Delphi and VB, I don't program in VB much, but that is the program that the Delphi programmers looked at to build Delphi, and Delphi is the program that the C++ Builders programmers loooked at to build C++ Builder)
If you're not concerned with owning the latest version of C++ Builder, you could look on the web and get a personal version for as low as $80.00. And then there's Ebay where some pissed off housewife is auctioning off her husbands latest CD for whatever she could get for it.
If you don't want to take the time to code the the program yourself, I can do it for you for $200.00 within five days. To contact me use either

or at the very least my telephone number

I've decided to work in plain old C++ with open source GUI libraries and Encrypted XML. Hopefully I can work all of that out!

Yeah I'm trying to stay cross platform as much as possible, but no I don't have C++ Builder or Delphi or Visual Basic :)I've decided to work in plain old C++ with open source GUI libraries and Encrypted XML. Hopefully I can work all of that out!

Open up VC++ and get to cranking on it, then you would be able to incorporate your own database connectivity, whether it by MySQL (my fav) or Access, or any other database you prefer.
