Can.t retrieve checkbox status

This actually isn't all that difficult for most question types. Generally speaking, for multiple-choice, true-false, and fill-in-the-blank questions, the value of the question variable is equal to the wording of the selected (or typed) choices.So, let's say you have the following multiple-choice question as the first question you created in the title (and, thus, the question variable is called Question_0001):Which marsupial looks like a furry pig?o Wallabyo Dingoo Wombato KangarooTo give the user a choice-specific corrective "hint" if they choose, say, "Wallaby" in error, you could have an action on your Next or Submit button (or whatever you're using to trigger feedback) to display a message box with whatever hint text you want, with the Condition Question_0001 / is equal to / Wallaby.You may need to do away with the default quiz-question feedback functionality to make this work though....personally, I don't use the default buttons and feedback options, because, although there have been some significant improvements in the way it works, it still doesn't operate the way I want it to. (For example, I like having the feedback appear on the page itself, not in a message box, and the ability to give the learner the opportunity to try again, instead of being automatically shunted over to the next page.)Does that help?Laura
