Outputting quiz results to E-mail / Excel

If you are looking for a low cost LMS Breeze is actually not too bad. We have recently started using a hosted version of the LMS for about £10,000 - 12,000 (roughly coverted from AUD) with an ongoing yearly fee of about half that.

It worked for us, and at least gives you another option to consider.

Would your office, department, and/or township be willing to look at an
LMS? There are a few free and low-cost LMS products out there...

Gaftop's solution is decent but shouldn't be limited to ASP.
Since Captivate can run javascript functions that are present in the
parent HTML page, just make calls to that JS, which then posts to
whatever backend page you have setup to receive that POST (ASP, PHP,
etc). Then have the backend page update the database.

This does, of course, require some sort of web server.

Is the Captivate movie on a server?

If so and the server supports ASP, then you can write to a text file using the FileSystemObject commands.
