If I make a decision on a quiz but don't submit it, hit back and then next, my decision is gone

Here's the situation I'm trying to figure out:

I've got 2 slides, A and B.

Slide A is a simple info slide that shows the user a bunch of information.  It has a next button on it to get to slide B.

Slide B is a simple quiz slide that is a multiple choice quiz where I want the user to select 3 options out of ten.   It has a 'back' button on it to get to slide A as well as a submit button on it to commit the decision.

If in slide B select 2 options and then hit the back button to go Slide A  (so the user can get more background  info into how to answer the quiz question) and then hit next  from Slide A to get back to Slide B,     Slide B's questions that I had already selected are cleared out

I'd like the user's decisions to date to stay intact.. How would I do this?

Thanks in advance.

You will not be able to use Submit all if you want to see scores of different parts, if you stay with default question slides. I have a blog post about creating intermediate score slides, but it is based on the system variable cpQuizInfoLastSlidePointsscored and that variable is not updated in the Submit All scenario.

As for the missing scores: did you check the Advanced Interaction view (F9) to check all scored objects, including the question slides?

Hi,

You can try using "Submit All" option. Go to Quiz->Quiz Preferences->Settings and then check the "Submit All" option. When quiz has Submit All enabled, the answers are retained when navigating between slides. You can find more help here : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/captivate/cp/using/WS6029a80579ffffcd5a87e66f135bd55f8cc-7ffa.html
