Adding a Variable Value to the cpQuizInfoPointsScored Variable

Question

I have a variable that I am using to track incorrect responses (clicking incorrect buttons while completing a process) and I want to add the value of the the variable to the value of cpQuizInfoScored. I can create an expression to add the two but I can't select cpQuizInfoePointsScored to receive the total.
Any help would be appreciated.

Jimmy.  This might be that you are misunderstanding how the Interactive Master widget works with partial scoring.  Basically you need to specify the score that will be allocated to a slave object using the Scoring section in the Master Widget properties interface.  That's the score that will be reported to the Quiz instead of the default score you've assigned to the interactive widget via the Properties > Report Score section in Captivate.
Using the preference settings you select, the Master Widget is going to try and work out whether or not the Variable Slave is in a Success or Failure condition, and THEN it will report whatever score you've assigned for that circumstance.
What you're trying to do is a little different.  You want to have ONE variable slave that can have a score anywhere between 60 to zero.  My suggestion is that you consider using setting up different user variables for each of the interactive objects on the slide that you are tracking and then add each of these variables into the Master widget as Variable Slaves, assigning each one a Success or Failure score in the Scoring screen. 
For example, if you ahve a number of click boxes on a slide and you are tracking whether or not the user clicks the right ones, you need to set up a user variable with a default value of 0 for each click box and assign that variable a value of 1 if the click box gets clicked.
The Master Widget will be able to determine for each of these slaves whether they are in a Success or Fail condition based on whether the variable is set to 0 or 1 and then add up the relevant scores allocated for each variable.  This aggregated score is what can be reported to the quiz score, over riding the default score assigned to the widget.
