ELM LMS Captivate 3 Integration

Hi Everyone,
We're having issues integrating a clients Captivate 3 movies into the PeopleSoft LMS called ELM. At first, course testing resulted in either the course failing or completing upon clicking the first button. Now, I finally have a version of the course that is tracking as in-progress and/or in-complete up to a point within the course. Until I get to the last four slides of the course.

On slide 104 there is a click box, which does not score or report, when I click on it the course navigates to the next slide which is slide 105. At slide 105 if I exit without clicking the active reporting/ scored click box on it, the course fails and the status is reported as Not Complete. Until this point all the reporting/scored click boxes that are on three slides ( 8, 19 & 36) in the course report and score correctly if the course is exited before hitting slide 104. Slides 106 & 107 do not have any click boxes or any interactivity at all. I've double-checked the click boxes on slide 104 are not Included in the Quiz, and Report Answer is unchecked, Add to Total is unchecked and points are zero. Slide 105 has one click box that is Included in Quiz, Add to total is checked for 1 point and Report Answer is also checked.

The Mastery Score in the SCORM Manifest is set to 4 points, because 4 out of 7 possible points is required to complete the course. In Advanced Interactions the reporting, tracking and points are all shown correctly for all four of the score reporting click boxes on these slides. In the Quiz Preferences, I've set to Report complete/incomplete, in Report Data = Quiz Results only, the Score Reported is as Score, Reporting Level is checked to Report Score. The only thing I've noticed in the Quiz Preferences > Quiz> Pass or Fail settings, if I select the points to pass radio button and set at 4 out of the 7. Captivate will not hold this number, after clicking OK and opening the Quiz Preferences again it shows zero.

Anybody have any ideas what is causing this behavior?
Thanks for any help in advance,
Charlotte

I wish I had an easy fix for you...but with the vaugeries (spelling
intended) of Captivate's SCORM implementation as well as the variations
in LMS implementations, this stuff is not as easy or understandable as
it should be.

If you think it's a corruption with the Captivate file, see if you can
copy all the slides and paste them into a new file. This may reset all
your quiz tracking and setup, but maybe that's a good thing - try to
just restart it all from scratch. Perhaps the current Captivate file is
keeping some sort of tracking for that 104 clickbox for some reason...

If that doesn't help, try not using a Mastery Score. Some LMS products
require this, some do not. Technically (as I understand it),by setting a
Mastery Score, you cannot have the lesson set to completed/incomplete -
it must be passed/failed.

However, that doesn't seem to jive with the problems you've seen trying
to set the course to pass/fail...does it? Or maybe Captivate will allow
that particular change if Mastery Score is not enabled...

I hope that somewhat helps.
