About your issue with interaction headers coming through only with no data...uh, forgive me if I'm stating the obvious..but you have to choose "Interactions and score" in the Reporting options for it to transmit that data. From your screenshot, it doesn't seem that you're checking that.</blockquote> As I wrote in the top of the entry, I tried publishing with the "Interactions and score" option checked, and it didn't work. <blockquote>The headers were coming across, but the data wasn’t. If any of you figure out why, drop me a line. For now, we’ll just focus on the Core Data.</blockquote> Thus, the screenshots I took use the simplified approach which reports only the score. But thanks for the heads-up. ;) I recently received this message in an email:

About your issue with interaction headers coming through only with no data…uh, forgive me if I’m stating the obvious..but you have to choose “Interactions and score” in the Reporting options for it to transmit that data. From your screenshot, it doesn’t seem that you’re checking that.

As I wrote in the top of the entry, I tried publishing with the “Interactions and score” option checked, and it didn’t work.

The headers were coming across, but the data wasn’t. If any of you figure out why, drop me a line. For now, we’ll just focus on the Core Data.

Thus, the screenshots I took use the simplified approach which reports only the score.

But thanks for the heads-up. ;)

One popular approach is xmlhttprequest (ajax). There are a ton of resources for that online, just google it. :) @Neil

I am having issues sending those objects to an ASP page to insert them into access. Any help would be greatly appreciated. There is an an article on Adobe's site but that only works with Captivate version 2. Thanks for this, I can comfortably get the captivate data into javascript objects.

Maybe it's a configuration issue? @Bill

That’s an interesting issue; I haven’t encountered it myself. Maybe it’s a configuration issue?

However for a small handful (less than a dozen), padMail() is never called. sendMail() is being called, but not padMail(). The machines that don't work are very consistent. We've tried upgrading the flash player, but that didn't help. Any ideas why this would be, and how we can get those machines to report their quiz results?
