I want you to ask you if I can use Captivate for creating an autoexec quiz of 100 questions (15 of a topic, 15 of another and so on) that takes questions from a database of 3200 questions in maximum 100 minutes.

thanks for your help

    @simonascargo:  I'm sorry if my answer was not what you were wanting to hear but what you wanted to do is simply not that easy to pull off.  Captivate CAN do a lot, but it is still limited.  We do have some very talented programmers on this forum who have demonstrated some amazing solutions.  But I personally do not believe they should be expected to give their time for free when the solution would require significant work.  If you feel differently, good luck.

    You can create a question pool for each topic. Then you insert 15 random slides, each from one question pool. It is possible to add a timer interaction and use an advanced action to navigate the user from the question slide to an end slide when the time limit has been reached. I don't know what you mean by 'autoexec'? I suspect that you'll want to transfer the results to a LMS, which means the user has to start the quiz from the LMS.

    thanks but I want to know if I can create a standalone .exe file (created with Captivate) that can extract 15+15+15...(until total=100 questions) of various topics from a database of 3200 questions and create a 100 questions quiz, always different...

    You cannot do this with standard Captivate functionality.  You'd need to engage the services of a programmer, plus you'd need to supply him with a complete design requirements document, and you'd need a decent budget for the project.
