making agame and need some help

Hey I just just signed on to this site and I was wonding if anyone could help me. I'm trying to build a simple trivia game using C++, Its my first endever at a game. I cant seem to get the game to show the sequence of bitmaps in order, it goes straight to the last one. I want it to print one, then go on to the next one. Well here's the code I'm using (only part of it of course). Oh and I have it to where u get a title screen (that works), when u push spacebar it'll enter the game (thats where I'm having the trouble):

int correct=0;
int wrong=0;
int question=1;

if (KEY_DOWN(VK_SPACE))
{
if(question=1)
{
Load_Bitmap_File(&bitmap16bit, "sw1.BMP");

if(KEY_DOWN(VK_UP))
{
correct++;
question++;

}
else
{
wrong++;
question++;
}
}

if(question=2)
{
Load_Bitmap_File(&bitmap16bit, "sw2.BMP");
if(KEY_DOWN(VK_UP))
{
correct++;
}
else
{
wrong++;
}
}
}

any help will be greatly appreciated

erm...
under if(...) for comparisson use == not =
is should be if(question==1) and if(question==2)
Didn't compiler report an error on that??

yes because == means "is equal to" but = means "equals"
