    Captivate is not really designed to do what you want in this instance.  It's more targeted at allowing a user to complete an assessment and then track whether or not they passed.  So it's only really set up to send information in a format that the LMS will understand and interpret as Pass/Faill and what the score was.

    You really need something more flexible than that. So I think you would need to get a programmer involved and have the solution custom made.  In my experience, any time you try to diverge Captivate from what it was designed to do, and you need to get other IT professionals involved, you can kiss thousands of dollars goodbye before you have a workable solution.

    Hi Rod thanks for the response. Is there any means of transmitting what is on the screen to get it emailed to me? I want to put a drawing of our boat console on the screen and be able to have the customers be able to drag and drop their Electronics configuration for their boat. Also the same thing with their rod holder layout. I was thinking of having them do a screen capture of it but some of our customers have a hard time emailing pics for our classified ad's

    Captivate has no standard feature that does this.  There used to be a widget from captivateDev.com that could create a PDF output.  But whether that is still available or even compatible with current Cp versions I do not know.
