Are you doing a Jump to slide action? The best bet would probably be to create the TEB with the v_name input on one slide and start the quiz on the subsequent slide. Then you could change your "Retake Quiz" button to jump directly to the quiz part and skipping the slide where the user enters their name. /Michael Hi Leticia,

There is a button at the end of the quiz (Retake Quiz) if the users fail the quiz. The Retake button links to the same quiz but I would like to remove the slide where they input their name on the subsequent visit. Let me know if you would like to see my source files. Any help is greatly appreicaited. Thank you, Leticia Hello Michael,

If you insert your variable in a text caption by clicking the variable button you will find a field determining the maximum length.

Simply set it to whatever you want from there and that should be it.

Going left field here and hoping someone can help. I want to apply the same environment to a text box for entering a sentence or a short paragraph. At the moment the 'v_name' in the demo is only allowing 35 characters. How do I extend this to include say 100 characters? Thanking you in advance Lindsay Great topic there Michael…..

I actually just took it out all together. The user only enters their name at the end before taking the quiz. But if you test it, let me know know what happens. I'll be curious to know. Thanks!

I have another test involving the Aggregator next week so I hope that I can do both things in conjunction then. /Michael @ Marjorie

I haven't tested it with that, but I don't see why it should cause a problem. I will try and find some time to test it my self. /Michael Hi Marjorie,

Unfortunately the variable name was correct. It usually just stays blank when I publish the project. I also noticed something funny. I published the modules independently, didn’t link them using aggregator, and when I open them and go through, it carries the name over. So apparently it works, but not when I’m using aggregator. Help? Thanks for replying Michael. Unfortunately the variable name was correct. It usually just stays blank when I publish the project.

Other than that it should work just fine. What happens if you run the sample projects included in the download? Do they work alright? /Michael Hi Marjorie,
