Storyline results into Microsoft Access

Jul 17, 2012

Hello

I want to have the learners results from a quiz entered into Microsoft Access automatically.


Has anyone got any ideas on how to approach this?

Hi Greg:

Wow, I LOVE this idea, but offhand, I'd say this one's pretty challenging/tough.

Frankly, I'm not sure it's even doable (?!)

If I were to try this, my first random thought would be to see if you could generate a series of results from the Storyline/Storyline 2 Quiz and output them into a Comma Separated Values (.csv) file using a JavaScript trigger.

My key concern would be to see if Storyline would even allow this to occur - I'd say a big maybe to that, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't possible.

If you are able to write the JS code and execute it, once the output file has been generated, you could create a Linked Table and a couple of Append Queries and/or use some customized VBA in Access to pull these results into your database table(s) accordingly.

If you could get this working, I'd LOVE to see the result, as I am a hardcore Access VBA developer from WAY back in time (as in, Back to the Future Doc Brown level!)

Cheers,

-Mark

Hi Christie:

Oh, I'm sorry about this!

I didn't realize this thread was so old - I only noticed that when you pointed it out.

I suspect he has likely moved well on from this requirement by now, but I will reach out to him to see if he might still need to tackle this kind of project - it would be very interesting to try!

Perhaps we can start a new thread on this topic. :)
